1 · What the graph read from it

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.

2 · The registry

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

Fournier's gangrene is a necrotizing fasciitis of the perineum that can occur due to a loss of integrity of the gastrointestinal or urethral mucosa. Its appearance as the debut of a perforated rectal neoplasm is unusual, more uncommon in young patients, leading to an advanced stage of the disease. Therefore, we present the case of a 47-year-old male with Fournier's gangrene as the debut of a rectal cancer that, despite severe presentation, the pathological stage was early (pT2N0), highlighting the importance of considering neoplastic etiology in perineal gangrene and the need for an early multidisciplinary approach.
