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

(1) Background: Iliopsoas abscess (IPA) is usually overlooked due to its nonspecific symptoms and signs. The resulting delayed diagnosis and treatment can increase morbidity and mortality. The purpose of the present study was to identify the risk factors for the unfavorable outcomes associated with IPA. (2) Methods: We included patients who presented to the emergency department and were diagnosed with IPA. The primary outcome was in-hospital mortality. Variables were compared, and the associated factors were examined with Cox proportional hazards model. (3) Results: Of the 176 patients enrolled, IPA was of primary origin in 50 patients (28.4%) and of secondary origin in 126 (71.6%). Skeletal origin was the most common source of secondary IPA (
