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

Splenic abscesses are a rare infection that usually requires seeding from another primary source; however, direct contact of bacteria can occur with microperforation secondary to colon cancer leading to abscess formation. This occurrence is rare, and through literature review only 12 previous cases have been reported with associated bacteremia. Our patient is a 62-year-old female who presented with left upper quadrant pain with a history of tobacco and alcohol abuse that was febrile and hypoxic. Blood cultures were obtained that eventually grew
