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

Abscess of the iliopsoas muscle is a rare condition that requires a high degree of clinical suspicion for diagnosis. High mortality rates highlight the need for prompt recognition. We report the case of a 26-year-old man, with a history of intravenous drug use, who was referred from an outside facility with sacral fracture and gluteal abscess. Sacral trauma occurred 3 weeks before presentation, with progressive worsening of buttock pain. The patient was treated with irrigation and débridement of the gluteal abscess. Follow-up MRI revealed a communicating iliopsoas abscess that initially had been undiagnosed. After a prolonged hospital stay requiring additional irrigation and débridement procedures, the patient was discharged in a stable condition. Five-month follow-up has demonstrated no evidence of recurrence of infection. To our knowledge, this is the first reported case of
