1 · What the graph read from it

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.

2 · The registry

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

Endoscopic ultrasonography-guided fine needle aspiration (EUS-FNA) is considered to be a highly beneficial and safe diagnostic tool. EUS-FNA now has a greater clinical impact because the technique is currently being applied for therapeutic as well as diagnostic purposes. The treatment of intra-peritoneal abscess after peptic ulcer perforation has traditionally been by surgery, especially when percutaneous abscess drainage is unfeasible. We report that less invasive drainage using EUS-FNA was useful in treating a patient with an abscess who had no other option but to select surgical treatment.
