Exploratory laparotomy and drainage of a left pelvic abscess: a case report.
Article in Journal of surgical case reports, 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
Intra-abdominal abscesses within the peritoneal cavity and pelvis are formed in response to infection or inflammation, often following trauma, surgery, or chronic inflammation. Immunocompromised patients are at high risk of developing postoperative abscesses. Affected patients may present atypically or with signs of sepsis, even without abscess rupture. In this case, a 58-year-old male with stage III chronic kidney disease secondary to sarcoidosis & prostate cancer presented to the emergency department with 10 days of back and left hip pain, lower abdominal pain, and early signs of sepsis. Following an urgent care visit for his symptoms 2 days prior, his condition deteriorated, and imaging showed a left pelvic mass. This prompted emergency exploratory laparotomy, revealing a left pelvic sidewall abscess with abacterial purulent fluid without bowel perforation. We highlight the management of this patient's abscess and his post-operative care, alongside the contributing factors that led to his abscess formation.
