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

We report a case of multiple, giant, polymicrobial pyogenic liver abscesses that developed within 3 months in a patient with a recent pancreatic cancer diagnosis. He presented with fatigue, abdominal distension, abdominal pain, dyspnea, and lower extremity edema and was treated with intravenous antibiotics and percutaneous hepatic abscess catheter placement. Abscess fluid cultures were polymicrobial. Unfortunately, he developed septic shock with bacteremia and multiorgan failure and died after 6 days of hospitalization. Pyogenic liver abscesses are increasingly common in the United States, especially those associated with malignancy.
