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

Liver abscesses are a relatively common pathology, especially in adults, and are usually secondary to intrabdominal infections. In patients with chronic granulomatous disease (CGD), a rare primary immune deficiency, they may represent the main or even first manifestation of the disease. Clinical suspicion should be raised especially in recurrent forms and when typical pathogens are implicated. We report the case of a 37-year-old male who presented febrile, with recurrence of a liver abscess caused by
