Cervical necrotizing fasciitis by dental abscess treated with negative pressure wound therapy: Case report.
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
Necrotizing fasciitis is a severe soft tissue infection very uncommon in head and neck. This infection could be very aggressive involving subcutaneous tissue and fascial planes and can be rapidly fatal. Negative pressure wound therapy (NPWT) has emerge recently and became very popular in treating complicated wounds. A case of necrotizing fasciitis in cervical region from an odontogenic infection is presented. After surgical debridement, a NPWT device was installed. NPWT provides advantages compared to conventional debridement and drainage. This method is recommended as an alternative in treating necrotizing fasciitis in head and neck, because it eradicates infection and provides comfort to the patient.
