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
Objective: To evaluate the clinical efficacy of ultrasound-guided puncture drainage for pediatric appendiceal abscess and summarize operational experience. Methods: This study conducted a retrospective analysis of clinical data from pediatric patients who underwent ultrasound-guided percutaneous drainage for appendiceal abscess at Beijing Children's Hospital between January 2022 and June 2025. The safety and efficacy of ultrasound-guided abscess drainage were analyzed, along with key technical points and experiences for different types of appendiceal abscesses. Categorical variables were compared using the Results: A total of 90 children underwent ultrasound-guided puncture of the appendiceal abscess and were included in this study, and the control group consisted of 41 children with appendiceal abscess who received conservative treatment during the same period. Children who underwent ultrasound-guided abscess drainage under local anesthesia showed a faster decrease in white blood cell count (7.0 ± 2.0 vs. 11.0 ± 3.0 × 10 Conclusion: Ultrasound-guided percutaneous drainage is a safe and effective minimally invasive treatment for pediatric appendiceal abscess in children who can cooperate with local anesthesia. Physicians must master the indications for drainage and specific puncture techniques for different types of appendiceal abscesses.
