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

Emphysematous abdominal infections are regarded as potentially life-threatening conditions and benefit from appropriate radiological imaging for timely diagnosis and treatment planning. A 70-year-old non-diabetic male presented with an acute abdomen and had computed tomography diagnosed emphysematous pancreatitis, cholecystitis, and pyelonephritis. Treatment included broad-spectrum antimicrobial therapy. Ultrasound-guided percutaneous drain placement into the peri-pancreatic collection permitted culture-directed antibiotic therapy and continued drainage of the purulent collection. He achieved non-operative management of the first reported case of simultaneous emphysematous infections of the pancreas, gallbladder, and urinary system. His imaging and non-operative management are described.
