Successful cure of multiple large, inoperable liver abscesses by antibiotic therapy.

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
purposePyogenic liver abscesses are challenging due to their diverse etiology and the risk of severe complications. In many cases, surgical interventions are initiated. However, these are only applicable in selected scenarios. We report the case of a 63-year-old woman with multiple large liver abscesses of up to 6.7 cm spread across both liver lobes, which could not be managed surgically. METHODS &
resultsStreptococcus intermedius was isolated in blood culture and PCR positivity for this pathogen was obtained in liver puncture specimen. Following a two-weeks course of intravenous therapy with cefuroxime, metronidazole and fosfomycin, the patients received a consecutive, combined oral antibiotic treatment with clindamycin and cephalexin for four months. This resulted in complete resolution of the abscesses, with no evidence of relapse at follow-up.
conclusionThis case illustrates the complex therapeutic challenges in the management of multiple, large hepatic abscesses, highlighting the potential of antibiotic therapy to cure even inoperable patients.
