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

Background: Severe soft tissue infections are surgical emergencies typically accompanied by sepsis. Early recognition and management optimizes patient outcomes. Single-centered studies on these infections are limited due to their rare incidence. Materials & methods: We propose a protocol for the SENSEI (Severe Necrotizing Soft Tissue Infections) study, a multi-centered audit across the United Kingdom to assess current clinical practice for treating severe soft tissue infections in adult and paediatric populations. This will be compared with standards predetermined by the Surviving Sepsis Campaign and Sepsis 6. This audit will follow a trainee collaborative model, where doctors in surgery and ICU are invited to participate by the Reconstructive Surgery Trials Network and Paediatric Critical Care Society Audit Network. Each site will have a local lead, and at least one collaborator each from surgical and intensive care teams. Data collected will include presentation, investigations, and management of severe soft tissue infections. Ethics & dissemination: As the SENSEI study is an audit and not research, approval is not required from a NHS research ethics committee. Findings of the study will be reported in scientific meetings and peer-reviewed journals.
