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

The incidence rate of pyogenic liver abscess caused by multidrug-resistant bacteria has increased in recent years. This study aimed to identify the clinical characteristics and risk factors for pyogenic liver abscess caused by multidrug-resistant bacteria. We conducted a retrospective analysis of the clinical features, laboratory test results, and causes of pyogenic liver abscesses in 239 patients admitted to a tertiary hospital. Multivariable logistic regression was used to identify risk factors for multidrug resistance. Among patients with pyogenic liver abscesses, the rate of infection caused by multidrug-resistant organisms was observed to be 23.0% (55/239), with a polymicrobial infection rate of 14.6% (35/239). Additionally, 71 cases (29.7%) were associated with biliary tract disease. Patients with pyogenic liver abscesses caused by multidrug-resistant organisms had a significantly higher likelihood of polymicrobial infection and increased mortality (7/44 [15.9%] vs. 3/131 [2.3%];
