Spontaneous Necrotizing Soft Tissue Infection and Fatal Clostridium septicum Septicemia in Myelodysplastic Syndrome: A Case Report and Comprehensive Literature Review.
Article in Cureus, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
Necrotizing soft tissue infection (NSTI) is a rare but life-threatening disease characterized by rapid spread and necrosis of the skin, subcutaneous tissue, fascia, and muscle. We present a fatal case of atraumatic NSTI involving the left lower extremity in an 80-year-old female with advanced myelodysplastic syndrome. Blood cultures grew Clostridium septicum and Staphylococcus epidermidis, the latter thought to be a blood contaminant. The patient rapidly progressed to septic shock and died within 34 hours of presentation. Our case emphasizes the need for a high index of suspicion for NSTI in patients with advanced malignancies.
