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 76-year-old man experienced fatigue and progressive dysphagia. He underwent endoscopy at another hospital and was diagnosed with thoracic esophageal cancer. Three days after the endoscopy, the patient was rushed to our hospital with sudden seizures of the right upper and lower extremities. Contrast-enhanced computed tomography scan revealed a ring-shaped contrast-enhanced mass formation in the left parietal lobe with edema in the surrounding brain parenchyma. Contrast-enhanced magnetic resonance imaging showed a ring-shaped lesion with a high intensity on diffusion-weighted images. He was diagnosed with a brain abscess in the left parietal lobe. For abscess drainage, a quasi-emergent small craniotomy was performed. Culture of the drainage fluid revealed
