Synchronous Multifocal Necrotizing Soft Tissue Infection of the Upper and Lower Limbs in a Patient With Diabetic Ketoacidosis: A Report of a Rare Case.
Article in Cureus, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 papers.
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
A 67-year-old man with no history of diabetes presented with generalized body pain and impaired mobility. He was admitted with severe hyperglycemia, diabetic ketoacidosis, and septic shock. Although the patient experienced minimal cutaneous symptoms, he experienced progressive swelling and pain in the right upper and left lower extremities. Whole-body imaging revealed an extensive fascial plane abscess. He underwent three surgical debridements and improved with prolonged antibiotic therapy. Necrotizing soft tissue infections are rapidly progressing and life-threatening. This case highlights a rare form of hematogenous spread that causes simultaneous multifocal soft-tissue infections rather than extending from a single localized source.
