Diagnostic and prognostic utility of SIRI and CAR in necrotizing fasciitis: a retrospective cohort study on disease severity and clinical outcomes.
Article in European journal of medical research, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
backgroundNecrotizing fasciitis (NF), a fulminant soft tissue infection requiring urgent surgical intervention, presents substantial diagnostic challenges due to its non-specific clinical manifestations during initial stages. This study investigates the prognostic value of two novel inflammatory biomarkers-the systemic inflammatory response index (SIRI) and C-reactive protein-to-albumin ratio (CAR)-in predicting disease progression and clinical outcomes in NF patients.
methodsThis retrospective cohort study analyzed clinical data from 192 patients with confirmed soft tissue infections, comprising 50 necrotizing fasciitis (NF) cases and 142 non-NF presentations. Comparative analysis of SIRI, CAR, and key inflammatory markers was conducted between NF and non-NF cohorts during the perioperative 24-hour period. NF patients underwent severity stratification using Sequential Organ Failure Assessment (SOFA) criteria, categorized as severe (SOFA ≥ 2) or mild (SOFA < 2) subgroups. Univariable and multivariable logistic regression analyses were performed to identify independent risk factors associated with disease severity, and the predictive capacity of these factors was evaluated using receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve analysis.
resultsThe two groups exhibited comparable baseline characteristics and comorbidities, with no statistically significant differences detected (all P > 0.05). Among the 50 NF cases and 142 non-NF cases, the NF group showed significant elevations in inflammatory parameters, coagulation profiles, and metabolic/renal biomarkers compared with non-NF controls. Multivariable regression analysis established CAR, SIRI, blood glucose (GLU), and creatinine (Cr) as independent NF risk factors, showing area under the curve (AUC) values of 0.86, 0.78, 0.68, and 0.65 respectively. In NF severity assessments, CAR and SIRI emerged as independent predictors. ROC curve validation confirmed CAR (AUC = 0.70) and SIRI (AUC = 0.76) as robust severity stratification biomarkers in NF progression assessment.
conclusionsSIRI and CAR serve as independent risk factors for the development and progression of necrotizing fasciitis, offering novel biomarkers for early diagnosis and prognostic evaluation. These findings could enhance clinical decision-making and optimize patient outcomes.
