Article in Annals of medicine and surgery (2012), 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
Background: Methods: In accordance with PRISMA 2020, we searched PubMed, Scopus, and Google Scholar from inception to 10 October 2025 for English-language case reports/series, correspondence, and letters. We extracted demographics, presentation, exposures, microbiology, treatment, source control, and outcomes. Results: We included 32 episodes from 29 articles. The mean age was 53.9 years, and 17/32 (53.1%) were female. Healthcare exposure occurred in 30/32 (93.8%) patients, and device- or procedure-related involvement occurred in 22/32 (68.8%) patients. Abdominal pain was reported in 20/32 (62.5%) patients. All cases were culture-confirmed. Source control was performed in 12/32 (37.5%) patients. Clinical improvement occurred in 24/32 (75.0%); relapse occurred in 8/32 (25.0%), with most relapses device-associated; and death occurred in 6/32 (18.8%) cases. Conclusions:
