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
backgroundThis study aimed to investigate the factors affecting mortality in Fournier's gangrene (FG) and to establish a simplified scoring system that enables practical bedside assessment for clinicians.
methodsThe medical records of 130 patients treated for FG between February 2012 and January 2025 were retrospectively reviewed. Survivors (Group 1, n=101) were analyzed separately from non-survivors (Group 2, n=29). The collected data included sex, age, infection spread score, Uludag Fournier's Gangrene Severity Index (UFGSI), Fournier's Gangrene Severity Index (FGSI) scores, source of infection, presence of diabetes mellitus (DM), obesity, and other comorbidities. Additional variables included the presence of a diverting stoma, duration of vacuum-assisted closure (VAC) therapy, length of hospital stay, intensive care period (ICP), and isolated bacterial species. Associations between mortality and factors such as age, infection spread score, comorbidities other than DM and obesity (CADO), and ICP were examined.
resultsA significant difference was observed between the groups in terms of age and age score. The infection spread score was significantly higher in Group 2. While 60 patients in Group 1 had CADO, all patients in Group 2 had CADO, demonstrating a statistically significant difference. ICP was also significantly longer among non-survivors. Receiver operating characteristic (ROC) analysis demonstrated that the Eğin score had a sensitivity of 96.6% and a specificity of 63.4% at a threshold value of >3.
conclusionAge, infection spread score, CADO, and ICP, which constitute the Eğin score, demonstrated significant differences between survivors and non-survivors. These parameters are crucial for predicting mortality in patients with FG.
