Splenic Abscesses With Different Modalities of Management: A Case Series.
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
Splenic abscesses are rare but potentially fatal infections, particularly in individuals with diabetes mellitus. Management strategies vary based on the abscess size, complexity, and response to the initial treatment. We report five patients with diabetes and splenic abscesses who were managed at a tertiary care centre. All patients presented with left upper quadrant pain, fever, and leukocytosis. The diagnosis was confirmed via ultrasonography and contrast-enhanced computed tomography. One patient was managed conservatively with antibiotic therapy. Two patients underwent successful image-guided pigtail drainage, while one required splenectomy due to persistent infection. The remaining two patients underwent direct open splenectomy due to large loculated abscesses or lack of clinical improvement. The cultured isolates included
