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

We present the case of a young, otherwise healthy male, who presented with synchronous psoas and liver abscesses secondary to acute appendicitis. These are both rare occurrences in the setting of acute appendicitis, which can dramatically increase the case complexity and mortality risk. Their occurrence synchronously has not previously been reported. The patient was managed acutely with percutaneous drainage of the liver abscess and long course antibiotic therapy before undergoing interval appendicectomy with colonoscopy.
