Usefulness and Description of the Test Puncture Method for Necrotizing Fasciitis Caused by Group A β-Hemolytic
Article in Journal of plastic and reconstructive surgery, 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
Objectives: Necrotizing soft tissue infections (NSTIs) caused by group A Methods: We evaluated the accuracy and reproducibility of GAS-RADT performed using a less invasive and simpler puncture method compared to conventional sampling from small incision wounds and outlined the diagnostic procedure. The study population included 19 patients who underwent GAS-RADT using the puncture method at our hospital between 2019 and 2023. Results: The concordance rate between GAS-RADT and wound culture was 100%; Cohen's kappa coefficient was 1.0, indicating extremely high concordance. Conclusions: As GAS-RADT performed with puncture sampling is a minimally invasive and rapid testing method that helps determine treatment strategies, it can be considered an extremely useful diagnostic method for detecting GAS-NSTI, which has been on the rise in recent years.
