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

Fournier's gangrene is a rare and potentially life-threatening type of necrotizing fasciitis that affects the genital and perineal regions. Malignant priapism is a rare and serious medical condition characterized by persistent and painful erection of the penis that is not associated with sexual arousal or stimulation. We present a case of a 77-year-old man with concurrent Fournier's gangrene and malignant priapism. He first underwent surgical debridement to remove necrotic tissue and aspiration of blood from the corpora cavernosa. Then a palliative penectomy was performed. The patient succumbed to severe sepsis and died after 14 days of hospitalization.
