Amoebic liver abscess: diagnosis and management of a single case in Guangdong, China.
Article in BMC infectious diseases, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
backgroundAmoebic liver abscess is a hepatic infection due to the invasion of Entamoeba histolytica. This parasitic infection is globally distributed, particularly in tropical and subtropical regions. A remarkable decline in the incidence of amoebic liver abscesses has been observed in recent years thanks to economic and public health progress. CASE PRESENTATION: This case report describes the symptoms of a 32-year-old male with an amoebic liver abscess. Despite the diagnostic difficulties encountered, favorable outcomes were obtained after the appropriate drainage of the abscess and the appropriate anti-amoebic therapy by the administration of metronidazole.
conclusionsThe management of amoebic liver abscess requires a meticulous evaluation of the patient's clinical manifestations, the severity of the condition, and the response to therapeutic interventions. Early identification, combined with timely and effective treatment, is essential to reduce the risk of complications and the mortality rate. CLINICAL TRIAL NUMBER: Not applicable.
