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

A male 61-year-old patient presented to the emergency department with fever, leukocytosis and perineal pain. Macroscopic examination of anogluteal region demonstrated a bulky inflamed mass in the left ischiorectal fossa with a skin defect draining large amounts of pus. The suprapubic area was observed to be erythematous, with local tenderness and a palpable inflammatory mass under the skin. Computed tomography and magnetic resonance imaging revealed an abscess of the ischiorectal fossa and concomitant supralevator abscess. Examination under anesthesia revealed an internal fistula at the posterior dentate line, with pus emanating from the orifice. A bulging mass was found, protruding in the left lateral and inferior area of the rectal ampulla, a finding compatible with the supralevator abscess identified by imaging. Drainage of the abscess into ischiorectal fossa, supralevator space and suprapubic area was successful with a prompt improvement in the clinical and laboratory profile of the patient.
