An Unusual Presentation of Life-Threatening Necrotising Mediastinitis in an Adolescent.
Article in Case reports in surgery, 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
A male in early adolescence presented with 1 week of chest pain, respiratory symptoms and diarrhoea. Thoracic computed tomography (CT) revealed suspicious findings of necrotising mediastinitis without signs of a descending infection. The patient underwent bilateral thoracotomy and laparotomy with several revisions. After 58 days in the hospital, the patient was discharged home, fully recovered, with no sequelae. This case highlights the importance of a multidisciplinary approach when managing severe and rare conditions, emphasising the need for early diagnosis and prompt, appropriate surgical treatment.
