Clinical manifestations, diagnosis, treatment, and outcome of pyogenic liver abscess: a retrospective study.
Article in The Journal of international medical research, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 22 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
objectiveThe incidence of pyogenic liver abscess (PLA) continues to rise, yet atypical clinical symptoms result in considerable incidence of misdiagnosis. This study was conducted to identify potential warning indicators and summarize efficacious diagnostic and therapeutic approaches for potential clinical guidelines.
methodsHospitalized patients aged ≥18 years and diagnosed with PLA were included in this retrospective study. Data were collected from participant's clinical records. Patients were grouped according to type 2 diabetes mellitus status and ultrasound-guided percutaneous drainage (USPD). Between-group differences were analysed with Student's
resultsA total of 104 hospitalized patients were included, 33 of whom (31.73%) had type 2 diabetes. Procalcitonin levels were raised in all patients, suggesting potential effectiveness and sensitivity as a warning marker for PLA. Contrast-enhanced computed tomography was the most frequently used method (63.46% of cases) for diagnosing PLA.
conclusionTypes of PLA-susceptible patients, infection markers, highly sensitive imaging techniques and clinical treatment options were identified. These results may help with early accurate diagnosis of patients with PLA, avoiding treatment delay.
