Liver abscess in the caudate lobe caused by Klebsiella pneumoniae: a rare case report and literature review.
Review in BMC infectious diseases, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 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
backgroundK. pneumoniae liver abscess (KPLA) mostly involves the right lobe. We present a case of K. pneumoniae caudate liver abscess with invasive liver abscess syndrome (ILAS) was rarely identified. CASE PRESENTATION: A 53-year-old man with elevated glycated hemoglobin with chills, rigors and a fever of five days. The patient presented with tachycardia and fever. Physical examination revealed tenderness over the right abdomen was elicited. In particular, the inflammatory markers were markedly elevated, and computerized tomography (CT) showed pulmonary abscess, pulmonary embolism and caudate liver abscess. The patient's sequential organ failure assessment (SOFA) score was 10 points. Klebsiella pneumoniae was isolated from sputum, urine and blood. With the suspicion of liver abscesses, ILAS and sepsis. The patient was successfully treated with antibiotics. He returned to close to his premorbid function.
conclusionK. pneumoniae caudate liver abscess was rare. This is the first detailed report of K. pneumoniae caudate liver abscess with invasive liver abscess syndrome. Patients with cryptogenic K. pneumoniae liver abscess are advised to undergo an examination of intestinal barrier function. The study indicates that in patients with K. pneumoniae liver abscess, a caudate liver abscess size of ≤ 9.86 cm² may be characteristic of those suitable for conservative treatment of invasive liver abscess syndrome.
