Cryptogenic Pyogenic Liver Abscess as a Sentinel of Occult Colorectal Cancer: Successful Conservative Management of a Rare Presentation.
Article in Cureus, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
Pyogenic liver abscess (PLA) is an uncommon but serious infection, usually linked to biliary or intra-abdominal sources. When no clear cause is identified, the possibility of an underlying gastrointestinal malignancy, especially colorectal cancer (CRC), should always be considered. In some cases, a liver abscess may be the very first sign of an otherwise silent cancer. We report a 68-year-old woman with a history of breast cancer, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, and non-alcoholic fatty liver disease, who presented with sepsis and confusion. Imaging revealed multiple large, multiseptated liver abscesses. Despite their size, she was treated successfully with antibiotics alone, without drainage. A few weeks later, she was readmitted with abdominal pain, iron deficiency anemia, and
