A Case Report of Rapidly Necrotizing Fasciitis Post-Falling Down Treated Reconstructively.
Article in Cureus, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 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
Necrotizing fasciitis (NF) is a necrotizing soft tissue infection that can result in fast tissue loss, necrosis, and potentially fatal acute sepsis. Diabetes, cancer, alcohol abuse, and chronic liver and renal disease are all risk factors for NF. In this case report, a 19-year-old man with a negative past medical and surgical history was diagnosed with aggressive rapidly progressive necrotizing fasciitis of the left lower extremity after a recent history of falling down from a skateboard. A successful treatment with long-term debridement surgeries followed by reconstructive surgery with skin grafting was made. Although the severity of this condition, the patient was able to resume a normal range of motion of the concerned extremity. NF has been described in the literature, but early diagnosis, which is crucial for successful management, rests a challenge.
