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

A splenic abscess is a rare disease found in less than 1% of all autopsy studies. Several different diseases are associated as a predisposing factor, such as septic bacteremia due to endocarditis or diverticulitis, previous splenic trauma, immunosuppressive medication or diseases. The reported mortality in the literature is up to 24.5% in correctly diagnosed and treated cases. The diagnostic work-up primarily comprises sonography and computed tomography as well as a percutaneous puncture for determination of the pathogen. In most cases, a percutaneous interventional drainage treatment is sufficient and a splenectomy is necessary only in refractory cases.
