1 · What the graph read from 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.

2 · The registry

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

introductionUnlike other skin and soft tissue infections, necrotizing fasciitis (NF) is a very rare but potentially fatal condition. Common organisms causing NF are poly-microbial (type I) infection with mixed organisms and mono-bacterial gram-positive infection with mainly streptococci (type II). Mono-bacterial gram-negative NF is a rare form of NF that is not included in the current classification. CASE SERIES: We report four cases of mono-bacterial gram-negative NF caused by DISCUSSION: Recent findings suggest adding a type III fasciitis, which is caused by mono-bacterial gram-negative organisms. As patients are getting older with even more comorbidities, mono-bacterial gram-negative NF will be an increasing problem for physicians treating soft tissue and skin infections.In oncologic diseases, liver cirrhosis, renal diseases or otherwise immunocompromised patients, mono-bacterial gram-negative NF with
