Necrotising fasciitis of the thigh.
Article in BMJ case reports, 2013. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 10 papers.
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
Necrotising fasciitis (NF) is an extremely virulent form of infectious fasciitis. It affects skin, subcutaneous fat and superficial and deep muscular fascia by rapidly progressive necrosis. Expeditious diagnosis and radical debridement is necessary to prevent the onset of sepsis, multisystem organ failure and possible death. Perforated rectal cancer resulting in NF can spread to the perineum and genitals known as Fournier gangrene. This case describes an unusual case of NF of the right thigh as first presentation highly suggestive for rectal cancer.
