Giant Liver Infections: Cryptogenic Liver Abscess Secondary to Bacteroides Fragilis.
Article in Cureus, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 papers.
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
Hepatic abscesses are a seldom finding although they are the most common type of intraabdominal abscess. We find that this localized collection of pus can be a result of bacteria, ameba, or fungi. This study will mainly focus on the first type, the pyogenic liver abscess (PLA), in which management is predicated on size of abscess. There is no standard definition as to what constitutes a small or large hepatic abscess. Here, we present a case of a 10 cm PLA found in the right lobe of the liver. We aimed to discuss the relevant epidemiology, pathophysiology, clinical manifestations, and management of PLAs.
