Lingual necrosis secondary to group a streptococcal necrotising infection.
Article in Oxford medical case reports, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
Tongue necrosis is a rare manifestation of Group A Streptococcal (GAS) infection. Only certain strains of GAS have been found to cause invasive disease in the form of necrotising skin and soft tissue infections. We present the case of an older woman who developed a sore throat and localised ulcer on the tongue, that rapidly progressed to lingual necrosis and spreading erythema in the neck and chest. Owing to rapid detection, she received timely surgical treatment and intravenous antibiotic therapy, making a full recovery. This report describes the unique presentation of lingual necrosis in GAS infection. It highlights the diagnostic challenges and emphasises the importance of early recognition of symptoms.
