Pyogenic liver abscess: Clinical features and microbiological profiles in tertiary care center.
Article in Journal of family medicine and primary care, 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 13 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
backgroundPyogenic liver abscess (PLA) is the end result of a number of pathologic processes that cause a suppurative infection of the liver parenchyma. MATERIALS AND
methodsSixty-five patients of age more than 18 years and radiologically confirmed cases of liver abscess were included in this study. Pus and blood samples were collected. Pus was processed for microscopy of trophozoite of
resultOut of sixty five, twenty five were confirmed as PLA. All patients were male with mean age 37.9 years. Fever and upper abdominal pain were the most common symptoms. Right lobe comprised 80% of the abscess. Pus sample was more sensitive than blood sample for diagnosis. There were a total of 33 isolates in our study.
conclusionDiagnosis should be made with the combination of clinical suspicion, radiology, and microbiology. Empirical therapy should include anaerobic coverage too. Only antibiotic therapy can be given under consideration of size of abscess, persistence of fever after giving antibiotics, and any suspected complications.
