Amebic Liver Abscess in a Patient with Polycystic Liver Disease: A Case Report.
Article in Surgical case reports, 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
introductionAmebic liver abscess is a parasitic infection caused by CASE PRESENTATION: We report the case of a 75-year-old woman with autosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease and multiple liver cysts, who presented with abdominal distension and gastrointestinal symptoms. MRI revealed multiple liver cysts, including a large lesion with heterogeneous signal intensity, initially suspected to represent intracystic hemorrhage. The patient underwent open cyst fenestration and deroofing. Postoperatively, she developed persistent ascitic fluid drainage and acute kidney injury requiring dialysis. Despite elevated inflammatory markers, she remained afebrile, and bacterial cultures from blood and ascitic fluid were negative. Histopathological analysis of the resected cyst wall revealed numerous trophozoites consistent with
