Utility of Acute Physiology and Chronic Health Evaluation (APACHE II) in Predicting Mortality in Patients with Pyogenic Liver Abscess: A Retrospective Study.
Article in Journal of clinical medicine, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 8 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
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
Pyogenic liver abscess (PLA) is a major life-threatening disease with varied clinical features. This study aimed to determine predictors of mortality in patients with PLA using criteria determined upon admission. We retrospectively examined the data of 324 hospitalized adults in whom liver abscesses were confirmed using abdominal ultrasound and/or computed tomography. The relationship between various risk factors was assessed using multivariate analysis. A total of 109 (33.6%) patients were admitted to the intensive care unit (ICU). The overall mortality rate was 7.4% and was higher among ICU patients than non-ICU patients (21.1% vs. 0.5%,
