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

Conventional approaches to the drainage of abscess surrounded by bowel contraindicate percutaneous drainage and often involve more invasive laparotomy. We attempt to demonstrate the use of an image-guided blunt trocar to navigate obstructive bowel and access abdominal abscess. This report presents the use of a blunt trocar to safely maneuver obstructive bowel and perform successful percutaneous drainage of intraabdominal abscess in two separate cases: one presenting a left lower quadrant diverticular abscess and the other presenting an abscess in the right lower quadrant. Thus, traversing obstructive bowel using a blunt trocar under computed tomography-guidance allows for percutaneous drainage of an intraabdominal abscess, and provides a safer and more effective alternative to more invasive procedures.
