Unusual presentation of seminal vesicle abscess: a report of two cases.
Article in The Pan African medical journal, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
Seminal vesicle abscesses (SVA) are a rare condition, and their diagnosis is challenging with non-specific clinical presentation. Only a few cases of SVA have been published. Here we report two cases of SVA. The first one is a 58-year-old male with HIV and diabetes who presented with painful swelling in the left groin for 15 days. The second patient was a 65-year-old man who presented with painful swelling in the perineum for 15 days. Both patients were radiologically (computed tomography scan) diagnosed to have SVA. The first one was treated via surgical drainage for groin abscess and SVA was treated conservatively with intravenous broad-spectrum antibiotics. The latter was treated with SVA transurethral drainage. The pus culture showed Escherichia coli. Postoperative antibiotic therapies were contented without complications. In conclusion, although SVA may be clinically unsuspected, cross-sectional radiologic imaging findings should not be underestimated in order to promptly initiate treatment.
