Liver Abscess as the Complication of Ventriculoperitoneal Shunt Associated with Skin Injury.
Article in NMC case report journal, 2026. 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
A 50-year-old male who had undergone ventriculoperitoneal shunt for hydrocephalus following acoustic neurinoma surgery 18 months earlier presented with progressive fatigue and loss of appetite. Three months prior to visiting our hospital, he fell off his bicycle and sustained a skin laceration just above the tube on the right clavicle. He exhibited tenderness in the right upper quadrant but no other neurological symptoms. A contrast-enhanced abdominal computed tomography scan revealed a large well-defined lesion in the right lobe of the liver, with the shunt tube having migrated into the lesion. Ultrasound-guided percutaneous drainage was performed, resulting in a diagnosis of liver abscess. Culture of the drainage fluid confirmed the presence of methicillin-resistant
