Multistage reconstruction following extensive necrotizing fasciitis of the posterior trunk in a resource-limited setting: a case report.
Article in Journal of surgical case reports, 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 life-threatening soft tissue infection requiring urgent debridement. Although infection control is paramount, timely reconstruction is equally critical to restore physiological stability and achieve durable closure. A 38-year-old woman with uncontrolled type 2 diabetes mellitus presented with extensive posterior trunk NF complicated by septic shock and diabetic ketoacidosis. Radical debridement created a 40 × 30 cm defect with exposed ribs, scapula, and thoracolumbar spinous processes. Reconstruction was staged. Rib corticotomy was performed to promote granulation, prominent spinous processes were reduced and covered with paraspinal muscle advancement, and definitive closure was achieved using two-stage 3:1 meshed split-thickness skin grafting. Postoperative management emphasized glycemic control, nutritional optimization, and pressure offloading. Complete graft take was achieved without donor-site complications. Staged reconstruction combined with structured postoperative care can achieve reliable closure in extensive posterior trunk NF, even in resource-limited settings.
