Conservative Treatment of Severe Pelvic Abscess Post-Cesarean Section in China: A Case Series.
Article in International journal of women's health, 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
Background: The rate of cesarean section (CS) is increasing worldwide (especially in China) reaching 51-65%. Although severe pelvic abscesses after CS are rare, they are difficult to treat. To address this problem, we herein report 23 cases of severe pelvic abscesses and their treatments. Methods: We identified 23 patients with severe pelvic abscesses using International Classification of Disease codes in a retrospective quality assurance analysis. Results: Among 12,640 cesarean deliveries, 23 women (0.182%) developed severe pelvic abscess. Include total numbers for treatments, 69.5% (16/23) treated with debridement, 30.4% (7/23) with antibiotics only. All patients presented with fever lasting 5-17 days. Imaging (B-ultrasound/MRI) confirmed periuterine abscess cysts in all cases. Pathogens were identified in 18 cases: bacteria (n=14), Mycoplasma suis (n=3), and Rhizopus (fungal, n=1). Conclusion: Our study reported that debridement was a good treatment option, and the patient's temperatures were controlled after the pus was expelled.
