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
Aseptic abscess (AA) syndrome is a rare inflammatory disorder often associated with inflammatory bowel disease (IBD). Cases of IBD-associated AA have been reported in Japan, India, and Canada, but rarely in China. Herein, we present the case of a Chinese patient with IBD-associated AAs and review the literature on AA with underlying IBD. We report the case of a 48-year-old male patient with multiple AAs on his left hand and lungs who was successfully treated with prednisone. He had undergone cutaneous abscess incision and drainage twice in the previous 2 years. The patient presented to our hospital with ulcerative colitis and pain in the dorsum of the left hand. Pus from his hand and blood cultures revealed sterile cutaneous abscesses. Chest computed tomography examination during hospitalization revealed a lung abscess. The AA was unresponsive to cefotiam or cefoperazone-sulbactam. The patient's left hand and lung conditions did not improve until prednisone was administered. The patient was followed up as an outpatient for 3 months and recovered without any clinical symptoms. We retrieved 17 cases of IBD-associated AA from the literature. None of the patients showed evidence of infection and failed antibiotic treatment, and all improved with corticosteroid use. AA may be an extra-intestinal manifestation of IBD. Effective medications include corticosteroids and immunosuppressive agents. This case may increase the awareness of AA and aid in early identification.
