Percutaneous drainage of retroperitoneal abscesses: variables for success, failure, and recurrence.
Article in Diagnostic and interventional radiology (Ankara, Turkey), 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 12 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
purposeWe aimed to evaluate the success and failure rates and minor and major complications of percutaneous drainage of retroperitoneal abscesses.
methodsBetween 1990 and 2010, percutaneously drained 170 retroperitoneal abscesses in 150 patients (83 males, 67 females, median age 44.2 years, age range, 1-86 years) were included retrospectively. Percutaneous drainage of retroperitoneal abscesses was performed under the guidance of ultrasonography and fluoroscopy or computed tomography. Six abscesses were drained via single needle aspiration whereas 164 abscesses were drained via catheters of 6-14 F calibre using the Seldinger technique.
resultsWhen all retroperitoneal abscesses are considered, success rates were found as follows: 75.3% cure (128/170), 7.7% temporization (13/170), 4.1% palliation (7/170). Failure rate was 12.9% (22/170). Recurrence rate was 10.6% (18/170), and 13 of the recurred abscesses were treated via second session percutaneous drainage. Mortality rate was 2.7% (4/150).
conclusionPercutaneous drainage is the first treatment option for retroperitoneal abscesses due to procedural reliability, elimination of need for general anesthesia, better tolerability, and lower morbidity and mortality rates compared with the surgical methods. High cure, temporization, or palliation rates can be obtained via imaging-guided percutaneous drainage for all retroperitoneal abscesses with a safe access route.
