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

This article presents the case of a 75-year-old male patient, who underwent a percutaneous abscess puncture of a liver abscess. A few days after the puncture and drainage there was a sudden onset of right upper quadrant abdominal pain accompanied by hematochezia. The patient presented with markedly elevated liver enzyme levels and a significant drop in hemoglobin concentration. After gastroscopy and abdominal computed tomography (CT) in the portal venous phase no bleeding source could be identified. A false aneurysm of the cystic artery was identified only after a CT angiography of the abdomen. Due to spontaneous cessation of the bleeding a cholecystectomy was subsequently performed for definitive treatment of the false aneurysm.
