Necrotizing fasciitis of the thigh-a devastating sign of intestinal perforation.
Article in Wiener medizinische Wochenschrift (1946), 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
backgroundThe incidence of necrotizing soft tissue infections is increasing, and associated mortality remains high. It is important to make an early diagnosis, but diverse atypical presentations occur. PATIENT: An older adult patient was admitted with sepsis syndrome without localizing clues. Necrotizing fasciitis of the right thigh and gluteus developed, and CT revealed an adjacent inflammatory cecum mass which was diagnosed during surgery as perforated adenocarcinoma.
conclusionA review of the literature revealed that this rare type of necrotizing soft tissue infection is characteristic of rectosigmoid or ascending colon perforation, often being its presenting feature and the first clue to an occult underlying disease. Myriad etiologies of perforations have been reported to be associated with thigh, flank, or abdominal wall necrotizing fasciitis and peritonitis, but this syndrome remains poorly recognized. Better awareness will lead to more timely diagnosis and aggressive multifaceted treatment, which are essential for patient survival.
