The evolution of percutaneous abdominal abscess drainage: A review.
Review in Medicine, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 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
Abdominal abscesses are commonly treated using percutaneous abscesses drainage (PAD). Despite PAD becoming commonplace in clinical practice, there are still unanswered questions and absent formal guidelines regarding its use. This narrative review discusses the evolution and different features of PAD, including the imaging modalities used in the process, catheter anatomy and sizes, placement techniques, the quantity of catheter side holes, and factors that determine the length of catheter stay and the usage of antibiotics for treating abdominal abscesses. Based on a retrospective review of the existing literature, this work is presented with an intent of identifying the most efficient design aspects and indications to optimize clinical success when performing PAD. This manuscript shows that there are still many unanswered questions and room for improvement regarding percutaneous drainage of abscesses.
