Case Report: Percutaneous catheter drainage in the treatment of amebic liver abscess with syphilis infections - a case study and literature review.
Article in Frontiers in medicine, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
Introduction: Amebic liver abscesses (ALAs) result from Case presentation: Herein, we present a case of a 47-year-old man who presented with hepatitis B virus and syphilis infections during admission. Laboratory tests and computed tomography scan revealed a liver abscess. Percutaneous catheter drainage (PCD) was conducted on the day of admission. Positive amebiasis titers confirmed ALAs. Although culture of the purulent material from the abscess later showed no bacterial growth, ceftriaxone and metronidazole were kept empirically. The patient was discharged in stable clinical condition, and the drainage tube was removed 2 weeks after discharge. Conclusion: Our case demonstrated a scenario in which continuous PCD was initiated alongside traditional medical treatment in the risk group for ALAs and PCD complications. The symptoms were successfully relieved, and he recovered well without any complications.
