Septic arthritis caused by Nocardia asiatica: a case report and narrative review.
Review in Revista do Instituto de Medicina Tropical de Sao Paulo, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
Nocardia asiatica is a rare opportunistic pathogen typically associated with pulmonary and central nervous system infections; however, musculoskeletal infections are uncommon. We report a case of septic arthritis caused by N. asiatica in a 72-year-old man with a history of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) and pneumoconiosis. The patient presented with subacute knee swelling following a recent episode of pneumonia. Gram staining of intraoperative synovial samples revealed branching filamentous organisms, and the isolate was identified as N. asiatica by mass spectrometry. Although the patient was transferred to another center during the initial phase of management, follow-up information obtained after discharge confirmed a favorable clinical recovery without recurrence. Our report contributes to the limited literature on the clinical manifestations, organ tropism, and antimicrobial susceptibility patterns associated with N. asiatica infection.
