Necrotizing soft tissue infection of the abdominal wall following vaginal delivery in a ruptured uterus: a case series from Nigeria.
Article in Journal of surgical 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
Necrotizing soft tissue infections (NSTIs) in pregnancy and puerperium are rare but life-threatening, with high morbidity and mortality. Diagnosis is often delayed due to nonspecific symptoms. While commonly linked to cesarean delivery and pelvic surgeries, NSTIs can also arise in spontaneous vaginal deliveries. We report two postpartum NSTI cases in women following vaginal delivery in a silent uterine rupture that were managed in a low-resource setting in a rural part of Nigeria. Puerperal NSTIs require early recognition and aggressive management. Uterine rupture may be an unrecognized source of infection. Timely surgical debridement, broad-spectrum antibiotics, and supportive care are critical for survival. Diagnosis and management can be challenging in low-resource settings, and clinical suspicion with early surgical and medical intervention is essential for a positive outcome.
