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

Duodenal diverticula are common but rarely complicated by abscess formation. Standard management includes antibiotics, percutaneous drainage, or surgery when minimally invasive approaches fail. We report a 75-year-old woman with a 4.4 × 4.0 cm duodenal diverticular abscess refractory to antibiotics. Endoscopic ultrasound-guided drainage with an 8 × 8 mm lumen-apposing metal stent led to immediate pus evacuation and clinical resolution. This case illustrates the expanding role of lumen-apposing metal stents as a safe, minimally invasive option for complex duodenal abscesses when conventional approaches are not feasible.
