Clostridium perfringens sepsis after pancreatoduodenectomy: a case report.
Article in Surgical case reports, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 5 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
backgroundClostridium perfringens sepsis associated with massive intravascular hemolysis has an extremely poor prognosis. We here report a case of C. perfringens sepsis associated with massive intravascular hemolysis that developed secondary to a post-pancreaticoduodenectomy (PD) hepatic abscess. CASE PRESENTATION: A 70-year-old man with Type 2 diabetes underwent PD for an ampulla of Vater carcinoma. His postoperative course was uneventful. He was discharged on the 16th post-operative day (POD 16) after confirming no major abnormalities on abdominal contrast computed tomography (CT) on POD 14 or laboratory results on POD 16. Two days after discharge, he was readmitted because of fever and chills. Laboratory tests showed only a mild inflammatory reaction (white blood cell count, 11,980/mm
conclusionsClostridium perfringens infection should be considered in patients who have undergone PD and present with gas-forming hepatic abscesses and/or sepsis associated with intravascular hemolysis. Prompt aggressive treatment is crucial, because C. perfringens infections can cause death within hours.
