1 · What the graph read from it

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.

2 · The registry

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

Splenic abscess is a rare but potentially life-threatening condition, most frequently seen in immunocompromised individuals or those with significant underlying comorbidities. Monomicrobial bacterial infections predominate, whereas fungal or mixed infections are uncommon, particularly in immunocompetent hosts. Concurrent bacterial and fungal infection of the spleen is exceedingly rare. We report the case of a 30-year-old immunocompetent Indian male who presented with high-grade fever, left upper quadrant abdominal pain, and gastrointestinal symptoms. Imaging demonstrated a multiseptated cystic lesion in the upper pole of the spleen consistent with abscess formation. Endoscopic ultrasound-guided fine-needle aspiration yielded purulent material, and culture revealed dual infection with
