Ludwig's angina, a rare complication of mandibular fractures.

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
Traumas are a major problem worldwide. A considerable proportion of traumas are located in the cephalic extremity. Neglect of these disorders by patients or those responsible for patient management may result in particularly serious consequences. This paper presents the case of a 58-year-old male patient with an intraorally open mandibular fracture, which left untreated for 3 days, was complicated by Ludwig's angina. Following aggressive surgical treatment during which the mandibular fracture was manually reduced and immobilized with a metal splint fixed with circumdental wires and effective antibiotic therapy, the septic process was terminated and the patient's fracture and infected wound were healed. The correct and rapid treatment of open mandibular fractures is mandatory in order to avoid severe septic complications.
