Perianal abscess mimicking levator ani syndrome: a case report and approach to the differential diagnosis of anorectal pain.
Article in The Journal of the Canadian Chiropractic Association, 2017. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
objectiveTo present the clinical management and comprehensive differential diagnosis of a patient with anorectal pain from a perianal abscess. CLINICAL FEATURES: A 41-year-old woman presented with pain localized to her perianal and gluteal region, accompanied by internal and external rectal pain. Prior to presentation, the patient had received a working diagnosis of levator ani syndrome. INTERVENTION AND OUTCOME: An interdisciplinary management approach was utilized. Diagnostic imaging confirmed the clinical suspicion of a perianal abscess and the patient underwent surgical drainage. SUMMARY: Anorectal pain is complex and multifactorial and a diagnosis such as an abscess should not be overlooked. This case emphasized that practitioners must be diligent in their evaluation and management of patients with anorectal pain, including recognizing situations that require further imaging and interdisciplinary management.
