Fournier's gangrene in a rectal cancer patient.
Article in International journal of surgery case reports, 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 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 (FG) is caused by a variety of causes, but FG led by rectal cancer is rare. PRESENTATION OF CASE: A 62-year-old man presented with perineal pain for several days. Multiple black spots on the scrotum and perineum surrounded by erythema were found on a physical exam. Computed tomography showed diffuse air density with subcutaneous edema in the perineum, scrotum, anus, and left lower abdominal wall and showed 4.1 cm-size mass in anus. He was diagnosed with FG caused by rectal cancer. He underwent extensive debridement of the perineum, scrotum, medial buttocks, and diverting loop colostomy of transverse colon. After repeated debridement of some residual necrotic tissue, abdominal perineal resection was performed after 24 days after initial surgery. The patient received reconstruction surgery of the soft tissue defect and discharged on postoperative day 84. He is being followed up without any recurrence for 10 months.
conclusionPrompt clinical diagnosis and urgent surgical management are crucial for patient's favorable outcome. The patient in our case study could be recovered by a combined modality therapy we provided.
