Bacteraemia with Hepatic Abscess Due to Actinomyces Odontolyticus Associated with Gastrointestinal Foreign Body.
Article in European journal of case reports in internal medicine, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 papers.
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
Background: Hepatic actinomycosis is a rare intra-abdominal infection, particularly caused by Case report: An 86-year-old male with dementia was admitted with a high fever of 39.5°C and right upper quadrant abdominal pain. Abdominal ultrasound revealed a right liver abscess. Both blood culture and abscess fluid culture identified Conclusion: This case emphasizes the importance of computed tomography scan when a liver abscess does not respond to conventional treatment, especially in elderly patients with dementia at risk of foreign body ingestion. Actinomyces spp. should be considered in cases of liver abscess of unknown aetiology. LEARNING POINTS: Always consider gastrointestinal foreign bodies: In elderly patients with dementia presenting with liver abscesses that do not respond to conventional treatment, foreign body perforation should be suspected and actively investigated using a contrast-enhanced computed tomography scan.
