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

Vibrio vulnificus (V. vulnificus) is a gram-negative bacterium that can cause severe infections after entering the human body via open wounds or consumption of shellfish. An increased occurrence of bacteria is known at water temperatures > 20 °C. In addition, a low salt content of 5-25‰ is beneficial for the reproduction of Vibrio spp. In the review by Fleischmann et. al. the direct correlation between low salinity and high water temperature with the increased occurrence of V. vulnificus on German Baltic Sea coasts was demonstrated [7]. It can cause fulminant necrotizing fasciitis which can result in amputation, septic shock and death. This case report shows the successful surgical treatment in Germany of a fulminant lower leg infection with septic shock after coming into contact with Baltic Sea water. A rapid and extensive debridement was followed by the successful transplantation of cutaneous tissue using a mesh graft.
