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

Iliopsoas abscess is an uncommon but potentially life-threatening condition. Distal extension into the thigh is extremely rare and usually requires surgery. We report the case of a 65-year-old woman presenting with fever, back pain, and impaired hip mobility. Contrast-enhanced computed tomography revealed a multiloculated iliopsoas abscess extending into the thigh adductor compartment. Under combined ultrasound and fluoroscopic guidance, multi-access percutaneous drainage was performed using one retroperitoneal and two femoral catheters, yielding purulent material positive for
