Total body necrotizing fasciitis.
Article in Proceedings (Baylor University. Medical Center), 2019. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
Necrotizing fasciitis is uncommon in the United States. Despite medical advances, its mortality rate has remained unchanged over the past 20 years at 25% to 35%. Risk scoring tools have been created but often fall short when used in the clinical setting. We present a case of an elderly woman with necrotizing fasciitis but with extensive intraparenchymal air that is undocumented in the literature. Imaging demonstrated significant air collections originating from an infection on the right foot that extended through the body, including the cranial vault. Despite aggressive resuscitative efforts, the patient was not considered a surgical candidate and ultimately died. Using a scoring tool for our patient suggested a low probability of infection, demonstrating that clinical suspicion should take precedence over any test or scoring system.
