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

backgroundThe spleen is a vital immune organ in the human body that is involved in both cellular and humoral immunity. It has unique physiological functions that contribute to fighting infections, and typically, infections do not lead to the formation of splenic abscesses, making them rare. CASE PRESENTATION: A 49-year-old healthy female presented with high fever, chills, and abdominal pain after tooth extraction. Abdominal enhanced computed tomography (CT) and enhanced magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) confirmed splenic infection and multiple abscesses. Porphyromonas gingivalis was identified by blood culture and next-generation sequencing (NGS). Percutaneous drainage was not used because of the multiple abscesses and high risk of bleeding, and she eventually recovered well with antibiotic treatments.

conclusionWe report a case of splenic abscess caused by Porphyromonas gingivalis septicemia. It should be suspected even in healthy adults with high fever and abdominal pain after undergoing oral manipulation.
