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

Ultrasonic debridement devices are minimally invasive and effective for biofilm removal, allowing for debridement of necrotic tissue while minimizing damage to normal tissues, such as the blood vessels and nerves. The use of ultrasonic debridement has been reported for foot ulcers and pressure ulcers but not Fournier gangrene. The perineal area, which is difficult to surgically debride using electrocautery, is a suitable site for the use of an ultrasonic debridement device because of its proximity to vital organs. We report here a case of Fournier gangrene that healed with testicular sparing using an ultrasonic debridement device.
