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

Splenic abscesses are rare, with a reported prevalence of 0.14-0.7% in autopsy studies. The treatment options for splenic abscesses include intravenous antimicrobial therapy, percutaneous drainage, and splenectomy. Although the dissemination of endoscopic ultrasound (EUS) intervention techniques has made it possible to perform puncture and drainage via the transgastrointestinal route for intra-abdominal abscesses where the percutaneous route has been difficult, there have been few reports of EUS-guided drainage of splenic abscesses. A case of a splenic abscess associated with a perforated duodenal ulcer that was successfully treated with EUS-guided transgastric drainage is described. An 89-year-old Asian woman with a perforated duodenal ulcer underwent surgery at another hospital. After surgery, the patient developed a splenic abscess, for which percutaneous treatment was anatomically difficult. Therefore, she was referred to our hospital for treatment of the splenic abscess using EUS-guided drainage. EUS-guided transgastric drainage was performed under sedation using a convex EUS scope. The splenic abscess, measuring approximately 4 × 3 cm
