Predictive factors for liver abscess liquefaction degree based on clinical, laboratory, and computed tomography data.
Article in World journal of gastrointestinal surgery, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
backgroundEffective management of liver abscess depends on timely drainage, which is influenced by the liquefaction degree. Identifying predictive factors is crucial for guiding clinical decisions.
aimTo investigate the predictive factors of liver abscess liquefaction and develop a predictive model to guide optimal timing of percutaneous drainage.
methodsThis retrospective study included 110 patients with pyogenic liver abscesses who underwent percutaneous catheter drainage. Patients were divided into a poor liquefaction group (
resultsIndependent predictive factors for good liquefaction included the absence of diabetes [odds ratio (OR) = 0.339,
conclusionPneumonia, diabetes, abscess location, abscess composition, and preoperative serum ALT levels are significant predictors of liver abscess liquefaction. The model can guide clinical decision-making.
