Fournier Gangrene in a Patient With Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus Treated With Dapagliflozin: A Case Report.
Article in Annals of coloproctology, 2021. 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
Rare cases of Fournier gangrene (FG) possibly associated with sodium-glucose cotransporter 2 inhibitors have been reported. We present a case of a 66-year-old male patient with type 2 diabetes mellitus on oral metformin, glimepiride, and dapagliflozin therapy. He presented with pain in the perineum and scrotum for 5 days. The clinical finding, computed tomography finding, and laboratory data were matched with FG. Emergency surgical drainage, debridement of necrotic tissue, and diverting loop ileostomy formation were performed by a urologist and a surgeon. The patient had no complications from diabetes before the onset of FG, and serum glucose management was good at the onset of FG. This case shows an FG patient with good glucose management taking dapagliflozin and suggests a possible association between dapagliflozin and FG. Further evaluation and additional research on this relationship are needed.
