Analysis of the clinical characteristics of 202 patients with liver abscess associated with diabetes mellitus and biliary tract disease.
Article in The Journal of international medical research, 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 20 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
objectiveClinical characteristics of patients with pyogenic liver abscess (PLA) of varying etiologies may be different. This study aimed to analyze the clinical characteristics, pathogenic bacteria, treatment, and prognosis of patients with PLA associated with diabetes and biliary disease.
methodsClinical, imaging, and laboratory data from 202 inpatients with PLA were retrospectively analyzed.
resultsEighty-eight patients (43.6%) had a history of diabetes, 73 (36.1%) had a history of underlying biliary tract disease, and 24 (11.9%) had both the diseases. The level of C-reactive protein (CRP) increased in 99.2% (119/120) patients, and the level of procalcitonin (PCT) increased in 95.5% (148/155) patients. The main pathogen of PLA was
