Pattern of management of oro-facial infection in children: A retrospective.
Article in Saudi journal of biological sciences, 2017. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. It is linked to trial NCT03761264 (Clinical, Microbiological and Quality of Life Outcomes Following Use of Systemic and Local Antimicrobials in the Management of Odontogenic Infections in Paediatric Patients), which is not on this map. Cited by 7 papers.
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.

Abstract
backgroundThe purpose of this study was to determine the distribution and management of orofacial infection in children treated at one of the major hospitals in Jeddah City, Saudi Arabia over a 12-month period during the year 2014.
methodsData from the clinical records of 94 children (33 girls, 61 boys; aged 2-14 years) who presented for treatment of orofacial infection at the emergency dental department of the military hospital in Jeddah during a 12-month period. Patients were treated with antibiotic therapy. A favorable outcome was determined based on length of hospital stay.
resultsThe results indicated that the most common cause of odontogenic infection in Saudi children was dental caries (88%). The primary posterior teeth (84%) were considered to be a major source of infection. The most commonly affected teeth were the primary first molars (34%), followed by the primary second molars (31%). Six children were hospitalized; four of these stayed less than 4 days, which was considered a short hospital stay. The most common treatment was antibiotics as 93% received a type of antibiotic.
conclusionsThe most common cause of odontogenic infection was dental caries which has been treated with antibiotic prescription and dental procedures.
