Review in Der Chirurg; Zeitschrift fur alle Gebiete der operativen Medizen, 2012. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 5 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled it.

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

Necrotizing soft tissue infections are a complex pathological spectrum of symptoms and result in a significantly increased risk of mortality depending on the degree of dissemination as well as the underlying bacterial infection. Hyperbaric oxygen therapy (HBOT) can significantly improve the effectiveness of a multidisciplinary treatment concept consisting of surgical debridement, critical care and antibiotic treatment. HBOT itself assists solid wound healing by bactericidal and bacteriostatic effects and by increasing the oxygen supply up to the cellular level resulting in an optimization of oxygen-dependent metabolic processes. The efficacy of treatment in a centre of cooperating specialized departments can therefore be increased by utilizing HBOT as adjunct treatment. Nevertheless, if a HBOT facility is available, excluding HBOT is equivalent to omission of an effective therapy option to the disadvantage of patients.
