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
introductionThis work aims to describe and discuss the epidemiological, clinical, therapeutic and evolution of Fournier's gangrene. MATERIALS AND
methodsCase series with retrospective data collection of patients treated for Fournier's gangrene between January 2010 and March 2017. The main etiologies, risk factors, postoperative complications outcomes and long term follow up results were analyzed.
resultsEight four (84) patients were recruited. The average age of our patients was 49 years (with limits of 20-76), the male gender dominates our series (83.33%) with a sex ratio of 5 M/1W, the most frequently found risk factor was diabetes mellitus (37%). The most common etiology was anal abscesses (32%). The average time to consultation was 8 days (limits ranges from 3 to 30 days). All patients were admitted at a necrosis stage (100%). Anemia was identified in 85% of cases. The low platelets were noticed in 44.03% of cases. Hypoalbuminemia was found in 93% of cases. All patients (100%) benefited resuscitation initially and antibiotic therapy on their admission. They received emergency surgical debridement with a cleansing stoma. The average length of hospital stay was 13 days and complications occurred in 33% of cases. The mortality rate was 7.14%.
conclusionFournier's gangrene is a medico-surgical emergency with a high morbidity and mortality rate. Early diagnosis as well as antibiotic therapy and the quality of debridement save the patients.
