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

Emphysematous prostatic abscess (EPA) is a rare condition characterized by gas and abscess accumulation in the prostate. In this case report we report a successfully treated EPA with liver abscess due to Klebsiella pneumoniae in a 49-year-old man. He was admitted with abdominal pain and fever. Physical examination revealed tender, palpable resonance urinary bladder, and prostatic tenderness on rectal digital examination. High inflammatory markers were found. Abdominal computer tomography (CT) confirmed EPA. The patient was treated with broad-spectrum antibiotics, strict blood glucose control, suprapubic catheterization, and transurethral deroofing of the prostatic abscess. After three weeks patient discharged in good condition.
