Perineal necrotizing soft tissue infection secondary to rectal perforation from a large fish bone -a painful lesion not to be missed.
Article in Radiology case reports, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 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 soft tissue infection caused by a large 70 mm fish bone that led to a single perforation of the rectum is an incredibly rare phenomenon. We report a case of an adult male in his 50s who presented with perianal pain. A prompt computed tomography (CT) scan revealed a foreign body had perforated through the rectum into the retrorectal space with associated gas locules, indicating a necrotizing infection. In addition, our case report explores the principles of wide exploration and debridement, the role of a defunctioning colostomy in perineal wound management, and principles of wound closure in the context of a foreign body causing significant perineal sepsis.
