Multifocal Necrotizing Fasciitis of the Bilateral Chest Wall and Contralateral Lower Limb in a Patient With Diabetes: A Case Report.
Article in Cureus, 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
Necrotizing fasciitis (NF) is a rapidly progressive, life-threatening infection involving the fascia and subcutaneous tissues. Chest wall NF is rare and typically occurs following thoracic surgery or penetrating trauma. We report a 54-year-old man with type 2 diabetes mellitus who developed bilateral chest wall NF after sustaining a pectoralis major muscle injury while lifting a heavy engine part. Imaging demonstrated bilateral chest wall abscesses with mediastinal extension. During hospitalization, he also developed cellulitis of the contralateral lower limb, which subsequently progressed to NF, with imaging showing diffuse subcutaneous edema of the left lower leg. Wound cultures demonstrated polymicrobial growth, including methicillin-resistant
