Post Fournier gangrene raw areas in the penis or scrotum: the role of intense pulsed light and radiofrequency in conservative treatment.
Article in BMC urology, 2026. 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
backgroundFor infected wounds, including clostridial myonecrosis, necrotizing soft tissue infections, and Fournier's gangrene, hyperbaric oxygen therapy (HBOT) is advised; however, tension pneumothorax and gas emboli may occur during the process. Other instances of relative contraindications include illnesses like asthma and chronic obstructive lung disease. We can use radio frequency and strong pulsed light in our research without having to worry about these kinds of issues and could have a significant impact on improving treatment outcomes.
objectiveTo assess how well intensely pulsed light and radiofrequency work for treating the aftereffects of post-Fournier's gangrene. PATIENTS AND
methodIntense pulsed light and radiofrequency sessions were used to treat sixteen male patients with isolated penile or scrotal post-Fournier's gangrene raw areas.
resultsTwelve patients (75%) had an excellent satisfaction rate, and four (25%) rated it as good. No fair or poor results were documented.
conclusionWe are unable to make significant conclusions because of the small number of patients; however, since E-light is a simple, effective, and affordable treatment with good outcomes and no side effects, we advise more research on its application in the treatment of post-Fournier's gangrene isolated raw areas of the scrotum and penis.
