Concurrent fusobacterial pyogenic liver abscess and empyema.
Review in BMJ case reports, 2019. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 11 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 present a very rare case of concurrent empyema and liver abscess caused by Fusobacterium. Our patient presented with 3-month history of subtle abdominal discomfort and cough leading to eventually presenting with marked chest pain, dyspnoea and septic shock. CT revealed a liver abscess and large right-sided pleural effusion. Drainage of the pleural effusion yielded gross pus with the growth of
