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
objectivePyogenic liver abscess (PLA) caused by hypervirulent Klebsiella pneumoniae (hvKp) may be complicated by endogenous endophthalmitis (EE) and pneumonia. We herein report a case of a Chinese male patient with PLA and bilateral EE caused by hvKp to highlight the severe clinical outcomes of this condition.
methodsThis case report describes a 54 year-old male with a history of poorly controlled diabetes mellitus (irregular oral medication and insulin therapy) who presented with a 7-day fever prior to admission. He developed respiratory failure after hospitalization. Klebsiella pneumoniae was identified in sputum, blood, and liver puncture drainage fluid cultures, while vitreous fluid culture was negative. The patient was diagnosed with hvKp-induced PLA complicated by pneumonia and bilateral EE.
resultsDespite aggressive systemic and ocular treatment, the patient ultimately lost bilateral visual acuity and developed permanent blindness. Early liver ultrasound confirmed the presence of hvKp-induced PLA.
conclusionPatients with hvKp-induced PLA are at high risk of developing EE, which carries a poor prognosis and may lead to irreversible blindness. Once suspected, prompt systemic and ocular intervention is critical to improve outcomes. This case underscores the value of early liver ultrasound in the diagnosis of hvKp-induced PLA, which may facilitate timely management of life-threatening complications.
