A Rare Case of Necrotizing Pneumonia and Pleural Empyema Secondary to Transdiaphragmatic Extension and Perforation of a Pyogenic Liver Abscess.
Article in Cureus, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 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
This article presents a rare case of an elderly patient with diabetes and hypertension who developed a primary pyogenic liver abscess (PLA) that subsequently disseminated to the lungs by contiguity, resulting in diaphragmatic perforation complicated by necrotizing pneumonia, hepatobronchial fistula, and pleural empyema. In this case, percutaneous drainage of the PLA was unsuccessful, necessitating surgical intervention, which confirmed the diaphragmatic perforation.
