Group G streptococcal sepsis, septic arthritis and myositis in a patient with severe oral ulcerations.
Article in BMJ case reports, 2014. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 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
Lancefield group G streptococci (GGS) are a relatively less common cause of streptococcal infections but the incidence of which has been reported to increase in the recent years. Similar to group A streptococci, GGS produce localised and invasive infections. Streptococcal myositis is a very rare but highly fatal infection of muscles generally caused by group A streptococci. We report a case of sepsis, migrating septic arthritis and diffuse myositis caused by β-haemolytic GGS. It is an unusual case of diffuse β-haemolytic GGS myositis involving multiple muscle groups in a patient who demonstrated no skin lesions or sign of streptococcal toxic shock syndrome. The patient responded well to intravenous antibiotics without surgical intervention and experienced full recovery.
