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

Hydatidic disease (echinococcosis) is a significant health problem in Nepal. In humans, mainly involves liver and commonly remains silent without symptoms or causing only mild pressure symptomatology. However, inadequate invasive medical procedures may cause the rupture of the cyst with serious complications, anaphylactic shock and death. Herein, we report the case of a Nepali patient who had been treated of a hepatic abscess with percutaneous drainage and antibiotics in a previous hospitalization. Study by drain fluid, ultrasonography and the magnetic resonance imaging revealed the presence of an intact Hydatidic cyst in the liver concomitantly with a percutaneously draining abscess (with free hooklets and a drain tube). This emphasizes the importance of putting the Hydatidic cyst into the differential diagnosis of liver abscess, especially in non-endemic areas.
