Recurrent subgaleal abscess following cervicofacial necrotizing fasciitis: A case report.
Article in Surgical neurology international, 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
Background: Subgaleal abscess (SGA) is an uncommon but potentially life-threatening condition characterized by pus accumulation between the galea aponeurotica and skull periosteum. Necrotizing fasciitis (NF) of the head and neck is an aggressive infection with high morbidity and mortality. While SGAs have been reported following trauma, neurosurgical interventions, or regional infections, recurrent SGA secondary to cervicofacial NF (CNF) has not previously been documented. Case Description: We present the case of a 75-year-old woman with diabetes mellitus and multiple comorbidities who developed CNF complicated by recurrent SGA. Despite initial drainage procedures, the patient experienced repeated relapses due to capsule formation. Definitive resolution was achieved only after complete capsule excision, in addition to culture-directed antibiotic therapy. Conclusion: Recurrent SGA complicating CNF is exceedingly rare. This case underscores the importance of early recognition, thorough surgical intervention including capsule excision, and vigilant follow-up to achieve durable infection control in patients with significant comorbidities.
