Surgical Management of a Splenic Abscess: Case Report, Management, and Review of Literature.
Article in Cureus, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 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
Splenic abscess is a rare infection that may develop from a multitude of causes. There are several different microorganisms implicated in pathological formation including Staphylococci, Streptococci, Salmonella, and Escherichia coli. Antibiotics are the first line of therapy in treatment with eventual surgical intervention. It is imperative to have surgical intervention performed due to increased rates in mortality with only medical management. However, specific treatment guidelines in the management of splenic abscess have been unclear due to the low number of documented cases. We report the case of a splenic abscess in thirty-year-old female two months following an appendectomy. The goal of this case report is to help provide additional context into management and treatment options for splenic abscess using literature review.
