[Necrotizing fasciitis of the extremities and trunk].
Review in Der Chirurg; Zeitschrift fur alle Gebiete der operativen Medizen, 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
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 (NF) is a disease of a group of entities with an aggressive course summarized under the term necrotizing skin and soft-tissue infections (NSTI). It is a life-threatening and often disabling infection and is primarily clinically diagnosed. Initially, clinical signs of infection can be insidious and confounded by absence of fever and typical cutaneous lesions. The later course is characterized by soft tissue lesions, excessive pain and systemic toxicity. As the infection can spread rapidly, and as a delay in treatment is associated with increased mortality, additional diagnostic imaging should be confined to a minimum. Prompt and radical surgical debridement (including repeated debridement after 24 h) is a prerequisite for survival in NF. Also, prompt administration of high-dose broad-spectrum antibiotics and a differentiated intensive treatment are necessary. The role of immunoglobulins and hyperbaric oxygenation remains controversial, therefore, the routine use of these measures cannot be recommended at the moment. Close interdisciplinary collaboration is required in order to optimize the treatment and to save life and limb of patients suffering from this life-threatening infection.
