Liver Abscess Due to an Unusual Foreign Body: A Case Report.
Article in Cureus, 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
Pyogenic liver abscess (PLA) is an uncommon and potentially threatening condition. However, foreign body-induced PLA due to gastrointestinal perforation is very rare and challenging to diagnose, especially when there is no recalled history of ingestion and no signs of peritoneal irritation. Its management is still not standardised and can be very difficult, leading, in almost all cases, to surgery. We present the case of a 60-year-old patient with a PLA resistant to medical treatment. Further investigation revealed a radio-dense image in the left hemiliver. The patient underwent laparoscopic surgery and removal of a foreign object deemed to be a fishbone.
