The Bacterial Compositions of Nasal Septal Abscess in Patients with or without Diabetes.
Article in Life (Basel, Switzerland), 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 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
The nasal septal abscess (NSA) is a rare but potentially fatal disease causing intracranial infection. Treatments for NSA include antibiotics, surgical incision and drainage. Diabetes mellitus (DM) is a risk factor for NSA. Therefore, we assessed the pathogenic bacterial composition of NSA in diabetic patients. We analyzed the Chang Gung Memorial Hospital database to collect 79 NSA patients who received surgical incisions and drainage from 2004 to 2015. We divided them into DM and non-DM groups for analysis. We integrated the bacteria cultured from each patient, listed the top three with the highest frequency and divided the bacterial species into facultative anaerobes or aerobes and anaerobes. The microbiological cultures revealed mono-microbial infection in most of the cases. The top three facultative anaerobes or aerobes with the highest frequency of NSA-DM were
