Case Report: Necrotizing myositis secondary to a pararectal fistula: diagnostic challenges and multidisciplinary management.
Article in Frontiers 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
Background: Necrotizing soft tissue infections (NSTIs) are rare but life-threatening conditions requiring early diagnosis and aggressive multidisciplinary management. Necrotizing myositis (NM) is an uncommon and particularly severe manifestation, often associated with diagnostic delay and poor outcomes. Case presentation: We report the case of a 57-year-old man presenting with mild pelvic pain radiating to the posterior thigh. Contrast-enhanced computed tomography revealed a presacral abscess with an extrasphincteric fistulous tract extending into the posterior thigh musculature. Surgical exploration confirmed necrotizing fasciitis with myonecrosis caused by Group A Streptococcus. The patient underwent repeated surgical debridement, broad-spectrum antimicrobial therapy, and adjunctive hyperbaric oxygen therapy, resulting in progressive clinical improvement and complete recovery at six-month follow-up. Conclusion: This case highlights the importance of early imaging, prompt source control, and multidisciplinary management in atypical NSTIs, while illustrating the potential adjunctive role of HBO
