Concurrent bacterial liver abscess and mild encephalitis/encephalopathy with reversible splenial lesion in a patient with poorly controlled type 2 diabetes.

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
A 34-year-old man with poorly controlled type 2 diabetes was admitted to our hospital because of fever, headache, vomiting, and impaired consciousness. His hemoglobin A1c level was as high as 11.0%. Abdominal computed tomography revealed a bacterial liver abscess, while head magnetic resonance imaging simultaneously showed a high-signal lesion on diffusion-weighted imaging and a low-signal lesion on the apparent diffusion coefficient map of the splenium of the corpus callosum. No significant findings were detected in the cerebrospinal fluid. The latter findings led to a diagnosis of mild encephalitis/encephalopathy with reversible splenial lesions. His impaired consciousness resolved on Day 5 after treatment with ceftriaxone and metronidazole infusion and intensive insulin therapy; magnetic resonance imaging on Day 20 showed that the lesion in the splenium of the corpus callosum had disappeared. We propose that when a person with poorly controlled diabetes develops a bacterial infection and presents with impaired consciousness and headache, clinicians should consider the complications of mild encephalitis/encephalopathy with reversible splenial lesion.
