Exclusion of Necrotizing Soft-tissue Infection in a Patient with Malpositioned Intraosseous Access: A Case Report.
Article in Journal of orthopaedic 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
Introduction: Necrotizing soft-tissue infection (NSTI) is a life- and limb-threatening diagnosis, warranting careful evaluation. However, intra-articular gas and soft-tissue emphysema, which are commonly associated with NSTI, may also be observed after traumatic arthrotomy, joint dislocation, and prior instrumentation. Case Report: We present a 59-year-old woman in extremis from septic shock with left glenohumeral joint pneumarthrosis and emphysema extending to her posterior scapular musculature. While concerning for NSTI, physical examination was discordant. Review of pre-transfer documentation revealed prior instrumentation with an intraosseous line that pierced the left acromion process and violated the glenohumeral joint space. Conclusion: NSTI is a critical diagnosis, particularly in the sick patient with hemodynamic instability, poor infectious source control, and soft-tissue emphysema. Discordant physical examination should raise suspicion for other etiologies such as traumatic arthrotomy, joint dislocation, or recent instrumentation.
