Group G Streptococcal Necrotizing Soft Tissue Infection: A Pitfall of Rapid Antigen Detection Test for Group A.
Article in Eplasty, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 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
Background: Necrotizing soft tissue infection (NSTI) caused by group A Methods: We describe 2 NSTI cases in which an RADT for GAS was negative, and in which GGS-induced NSTI was subsequently diagnosed. Both cases involved patients over 80 years of age whose medical histories included multiple conditions, including cardiac disorder and lower leg disease. After making a 1-cm skin incision at the central part of erythema, samples for both a wound culture and an RADT for GAS were taken from the subcutaneous layer. Results: The RADTs were negative; however, the rapidly progressing clinical courses suggested the need for immediate debridement surgeries under general anesthesia. Removal of the skin and subcutaneous tissue and an incision for drainage achieved limb salvage. Wound cultures identified Group G Conclusions: Surgeons must be aware of the limitations of the RADT for GAS and determine the appropriate initial treatment based on comprehensive physical and laboratory findings.
