A rare case of necrotic erysipelas of the breast in a healthy, postpartum female.

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
Breast erysipelas is extremely rare, particularly cases with necrosis or requiring surgical intervention. Scant evidence exists, with most occurring in otherwise immunocompromised or comorbid patients. This is a case of severe erysipelas in an otherwise healthy, postpartum female. She presented initially with mastitis appearing changes, with gradual progression to necrosis. Importantly, another uncommon, but more lethal, diagnosis was considered and excluded: necrotizing fasciitis. Ultimately, this patient required several operations and skin grafting, with good cosmetic outcome. The case highlights the need for early and senior surgical review to exclude more concerning diagnoses, as well as prompt antibiotic treatment and surgical debridement.
