The New Changes of Epidemiology, Etiology, and Clinical Characteristics of Pyogenic Liver Abscesses: A Retrospective Study in a Hospital in Northern China.
Article in Infection and drug resistance, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 11 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
Purpose: To investigate the epidemiology, etiology, and clinical characteristics of patients with pyogenic liver abscesses (PLA) and provide guidance for clinical treatments. Patients and Methods: A retrospective study was performed on a cohort of 402 hospitalized patients diagnosed with PLAs at the Affiliated Hospital of Chengde Medical College between January 2016 and December 2021. Patient demographics, drug sensitivity profiles, and microbiological culture results of drainage and blood samples were thoroughly analyzed to identify significant patterns or trends. Furthermore, clinical characteristics and treatments for patients with PLA were comprehensively assessed. Results: Patients aged 50-69 years had the highest incidence of PLA, accounting for 59.9% of all cases, and 91.5% of them had a fever. Bacterial culture analysis of the 200 patients revealed that Conclusion: This study reveals a shift in the proportions of pathogens and risk factors in patients with PLA, underscoring the necessity for improved diagnostic and therapeutic strategies.
