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

backgroundFournier's gangrene is a rare form of necrotizing fasciitis that affects the genital area up to the perineal region and sometimes the abdominal wall.

objectivesOur article aims to show that in the treatment of extensive forms of Fournier's gangrene, correct use of flap and skin grafts and a quick reconstruction of the exposed tissues avoid scarring retraction of the testicles and deformation of the penis. MATERIALS AND

methodsWe retrospectively reviewed the clinical and photographic data of Fournier's gangrene cases treated at our Institute. The data were evaluated to obtain an estimate of the results of the reconstructive technique used, in terms of percentage of occurred healings and eventual complications.

resultsA total of 34 patients underwent surgery for Fournier's gangrene. In nine cases (26.5%), we had minor complications: in four patients, suffering from diabetes and obesity, a retard in attachment of graft occurred, while in five patients with perianal problems there was a delay in healing due to the onset of local infection.

conclusionThe reconstruction approach described here may reduce surgical times. In Fournier's gangrene, the exposed tissues must be reconstructed as quickly as possible.
