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

Endoscopic ultrasound-guided pelvic abscess drainage (EUS-PAD) has emerged as a viable alternative to percutaneous drainage. However, reports of this method are limited to procedures associated with transrectal access. We herein present the first case of successful transvaginal EUS-PAD in a 22-year-old female who developed a pelvic abscess after undergoing a cesarean section. An ultrasound endoscope was inserted transvaginally to visualize the abscess. Puncture and dilation were performed and a 7 Fr endoscopic nasobiliary drainage tube was put in place. The patient showed a rapid improvement after the procedure and was discharged without any complications. This case report highlights the efficacy and safety of transvaginal EUS-PAD as a viable option for performing pelvic abscess drainage.
