Fournier's Gangrene in a Neonate With Acute Myeloid Leukemia: A Case Report.
Article in Iranian journal of pediatrics, 2016. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 6 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
introductionFournier's gangrene is an infective necrotizing fasciitis of external genital and perineal region. Hematologic malignancies and immunocompromised status are predisposing factors. Simultaneous occurrence of Fournier's gangrene and congenital leukemia in neonates is extremely rare. CASE PRESENTATION: We present a case of Fournier's gangrene in a 4-day-old female infant with a necrotic lesion in perineum and no history of trauma or other predisposing condition. Focusing on high blast percentage in blood cell count she was affected by acute myeloid leukemia (M4 type). Pseudomonas aeruginosa was isolated from the blood and wound culture. She was treated with broad spectrum antibiotics and supportive care. The parents refused chemotherapy and the patient was discharged from hospital. Bleeding and DIC was the cause of death in a local hospital few days later.
conclusionsHigh index of suspicion is essential for diagnosis and appropriate treatment. Congenital leukemia should be considered in the differential diagnosis of a newborn with clinical features of sepsis and necrotizing fasciitis.
