Liver abscess secondary to ingested cocktail stick: a case of minimally invasive management.
Article in Journal of 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
Liver abscess formation following foreign body ingestion is rare but may occur if the foreign body is lodged in the gastrointestinal tract and persists. Due to the rare nature of the condition, it can easily be missed at the index presentation. Furthermore, the limited number of cases described in the literature means there is no consensus on the optimal management of this condition. Initial treatment generally consists of antibiotics with or without percutaneous abscess drainage. However, referral to the regional hepatobiliary unit may also need to be considered to discuss surgical exploration and foreign body retrieval, especially if it is located within the liver parenchyma, to treat persistent sepsis or prevent abscess recurrence. We describe a case of foreign body detection in the left lobe of the liver on follow-up imaging after the index admission and subsequent elective surgical exploration and removal.
