1 · What the graph read from it

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.

2 · The registry

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 (NSTI) caused by Method: We identified all clostridial cases from the INFECT cohort, a prospective study including patients with confirmed NSTI admitted to 5 Scandinavian referral hospitals over a 4-year period. Selected parameters were compared to a control group of nonclostridial polymicrobial infections. Additionally, we analyzed polymicrobial infections with clostridial species. Results: Ten cases of clostridial NSTIs were identified, evenly divided between cases caused by Conclusions: Clostridial NSTIs were associated with extremity infection, immunodeficiency, and penetrating trauma. The cases demonstrate a wide spectrum of severity. In polymicrobial NSTIs involving
