Fournier gangrene in an infant, complicated with severe sepsis and liver dysfunction: A case report.
Article in World journal of clinical cases, 2023. 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
backgroundFournier gangrene is a rare, life-threatening infection characterized by necrotizing fasciitis in the perineal, genital and/or lower abdominal regions. Despite its rarity, the unfavorable prognosis associated with this disease is dependent on the timing of medical care. CASE SUMMARY: A 3-month-old boy was admitted to our pediatric intensive care unit in critical condition after a 5-day history of fever and scrotal erythema with breaching skin lesions and swelling. Despite ambulatory antibiotic treatment, the child's clinical condition deteriorated. At the time of admission, the child had necrotizing scrotal fasciitis that had spread to the abdomen. Following reanimation, the surgeon decided on an immediate intervention to rule out testicular torsion and to debride the affected area. Despite optimal antibiotic and supportive therapy, the patient developed severe sepsis with liver dysfunction, making treatment more challenging.
conclusionRecognizing Fournier gangrene, prompt referral to pediatric surgery, and appropriate antibiotic coverage are critical for avoiding sepsis and multiorgan dysfunction.
