Extraperitoneal abscess originating from an ischorectal abscess.
Article in BMJ case reports, 2017. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 8 papers.
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
We describe a case which had ongoing sepsis, despite adequate incision and drainage performed for an ischorectal abscess. The patient was then noted to have an ascending infection reaching the extraperitoneal space of the abdominal cavity. The case reported required multiple episodes of drainage along with lower midline incision for deep-situated abscess. Postoperatively, the abdominal wound was treated with vacuum-assisted closure dressing and antibiotics. The patient was doing well and was discharged with an appointment at the surgical outpatient department. The report signifies the importance of investigating patients who have systemic inflammatory response syndrome despite treating local abscess.
