Percutaneous Abscess Drainage: Basic Techniques and Technical Tips.
Article in Cureus, 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
Percutaneous abscess drainage is a safe and effective procedure; however, the techniques used can vary considerably between facilities owing to a lack of standardization. In this report, we aimed to describe the imaging modalities, devices, and techniques implemented in our department to provide useful information on how to perform percutaneous abscess drainage successfully and safely. Our technique of percutaneous abscess drainage includes ultrasound (US)- or computed tomography (CT)-guided abscess puncture, switching to fluoroscopy guidance, contrast medium injection into the abscess cavity, hydrophobic guidewire (GW) insertion, and the advancement of a drainage catheter and metal stiffening cannula without the use of a dilator.
