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

Skin and soft tissue infections (SSTI) are amongst the most common bacterial infections in humans. SSTI have a broad range of aetiology, clinical manifestation and severity. The outcome may be spontaneous resolution or on the other end sepsis with lethal outcome. Useful classifications are those which differentiate SSTI according to urgency of surgical intervention. The definitive diagnosis should be made by the clinical picture of the lesion and the condition of the patient. The key to successful treatment of many severe necrotizing soft tissue infections is based on early detection and prompt surgical debridement. This procedure has to be followed by an optimal wound management. From the early beginning of treatment an adequately calculated antibiotic treatment is mandatory. At the end of the treatment the wound has to be closed by an aesthetic scar with high mechanical load capacity.
