Urgent surgical management in a patient with bilateral scrotal abscess and necrotizing fasciitis: A case report.
Article in Medicine, 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
rationaleBilateral scrotal abscess complicated by necrotizing fasciitis is a rare but severe clinical emergency that can lead to life-threatening complications such as sepsis and multiorgan failure. Due to its rapid progression and diverse clinical presentation, early diagnosis and treatment are critical to improving patient outcomes. PATIENT CONCERNS: A 67-year-old Asian male patient of Chinese nationality presented with bilateral scrotal swelling, pain, and fever. The patient reported severe, persistent scrotal pain accompanied by systemic symptoms, including fever and malaise. DIAGNOSES: Physical examination revealed significant scrotal swelling, erythema, and tenderness, with a fluctuant sensation. Laboratory findings showed leukocytosis and elevated C-reactive protein levels, while ultrasound confirmed the presence of bilateral scrotal abscesses and evidence of fascial necrosis.
interventionsThe patient underwent urgent surgical intervention, including bilateral scrotal incision and drainage, and debridement of necrotic tissue. OUTCOMES: Postoperatively, the patient was managed with broad-spectrum antibiotics and supportive therapy, leading to gradual improvement and eventual recovery. LESSONS: This case highlights the rarity and urgency of bilateral scrotal abscess complicated by necrotizing fasciitis, emphasizing the importance of heightened clinical suspicion, prompt imaging, and surgical intervention. Early recognition and aggressive treatment are essential for optimizing patient outcomes in such cases.
