Gastric wall abscess: A case report and literature review.
Article in Annals of medicine and surgery (2012), 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
backgroundgastric wall abscess is a rare pathology that is often hard to diagnose and is often associated with poor prognosis. Herein, we report a case of Gastric wall abscess that we managed to treat by endoscopy without the need for surgery which is the usual treatment of choice. CLINICAL DATA: a 50 years old female presented with Epigastric pain. Complete blood count revealed Leukocytosis, neutrophilia and an elevated C-reactive protein. Abdominal CT scan showed a small hypodense area with rim wall enhancement in the pyloric canal. Gastroscopy and endoscopic ultrasound guided drainage was performed and the abscess was drained, content sent for pathology evaluation. Patient was discharged home on antibiotics.
conclusionGastric wall abscess is a rare but important differential diagnosis of Epigastric pain. Endoscopic Ultrasound is the modality of choice to diagnose it. Endoscopic drainage is associated with reduced mortality and morbidity (Soga et al., 2014) [2].
