An Unusual Case of Obstructive Jaundice Secondary to Pyogenic Liver Abscesses.
Article in Cureus, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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 abscesses (PLA) are an uncommon, but potentially life-threatening infection. Although the link between amebic liver abscesses and obstructive jaundice is well documented, there are few cases of PLA leading to this complication. We present a case of multiple massive PLA and obstructive jaundice on initial presentation. The patient was treated for six weeks with antibiotics and percutaneous drains placed in the largest abscesses and was discharged after clinical improvement and resolution of the hyperbilirubinemia. This case highlights the importance of clinician awareness of other etiologies when evaluating patients with signs and symptoms of painful obstructive jaundice.
