Acute Presentation of Simultaneous Liver Abscesses Caused by Streptococcus constellatus.
Article in Cureus, 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 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
Simultaneous liver abscesses are rarely seen and reported. We are reporting a case of two simultaneous, complex liver abscesses in a patient who had no evidence of liver abscess on cross-sectional imaging close to three months prior to this presentation. These abscesses were 7-8 cm in size, large, and septated. Microbiological studies were positive for Streptococcus constellatus, which is a known cause of pyogenic liver abscess. In our patient, pyogenic liver abscesses were associated with bacteremia and sepsis. This patient was managed with broad spectrum parenteral antibiotics and percutaneous drainage with improvement in clinical condition. This patient was discharged home with a peripherally inserted central catheter (PICC) line in place to complete a six-week course of parenteral antibiotics. A complete history and physical with pertinent examination findings are key to diagnosis of liver abscess. S. constellatus should be considered in the differential diagnosis of patients with liver abscess and sepsis.
