Pyogenic liver abscess and sepsis caused by mixed anaerobic bacteria in an immunocompetent adult: a case report.
Article in Frontiers in medicine, 2025. 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
Background: Anaerobic bacterial communities in the digestive tract play an important role in digestive tract infections and aspiration pneumonia. However, ectopic infections originating from these communities are uncommon. Case report: We present a rare case of a 64-year-old immunocompetent female was admitted with no significant medical history who developed a pyogenic liver abscess and sepsis caused by multiple anaerobic bacteria of digestive tract origin. Metagenomic next-generation sequencing (mNGS) detected four types of anaerobic bacteria in both peripheral blood and abscess puncture fluid. Culture confirmed the presence of three of these microorganisms. Treatment with a combination of meropenem and metronidazole resulted in the patient's subsequent recovery and discharge. Conclusion: This report highlights the occurrence of ectopic infections caused by multiple anaerobic bacteria leading to pyogenic liver abscess and sepsis, underscoring the importance of considering anaerobic bacteria and conducting rapid comprehensive pathogen detection in clinical practice.
