Periorbital Facial Necrotizing Fasciitis in Adults: A Rare Severe Disease with Complex Diagnosis and Surgical Treatment-A New Case Report and Systematic Review.
Review in Journal of personalized medicine, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 8 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
(1) Background: Necrotizing fasciitis (NF) is a severe and aggressive pathology with a rapid progression and high mortality risk. Periocular NF is a rare condition associated with a lower mortality risk but significantly higher disabling sequelae. (2) Methods: We present the case of a 67-year-old homeless patient, a victim of assault, with multiple untreated comorbidities (diabetes mellitus, cardiac conditions, and schizophrenia) and a delayed diagnosis of periocular necrotizing fasciitis. The condition showed a cyclical evolution influenced by the existing comorbidities, and the patient underwent both surgical and medical treatment with a multidisciplinary team. Additionally, we report a systematic review of cases from the literature. (3) Results: The patient's survival outcomes were favorable; however, the sequelae were disabling, not only concerning aesthetic aspects but also due to the loss of the affected eye globe. The systematic review revealed the rarity of such cases and the peculiarities of the presented case compared to those reported in the literature up to this point. (4) Conclusions: Understanding the signs, symptoms, and predisposing factors, as well as the potential rare localizations of NF, including the periocular region, can lead to the early diagnosis and treatment with good functional and aesthetic outcomes, minimizing significant disabilities.
