Maxillary Osteomyelitis with an Incidental Diagnosis of Maxillary Diffuse Large B-Cell Lymphoma: A Case Report.
Article in Cureus, 2019. 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
Raoultella planticola osteomyelitis is rarely reported in the literature. The most likely source in our case is the oral microbiome secondary to the tooth extraction. Herein we present a case of Raoultella planticola osteomyelitis of the jaw that leads to the diagnosis of diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL) of the jaw. A 75-year-old male with no significant medical history, presented to the emergency department with right upper jaw pain after he had a tooth extraction a week before his presentation. Computed tomography (CT) scan of the face showed concerns of right maxillary osteomyelitis with soft tissue swelling and prominent cervical lymph nodes. He underwent a bone biopsy of the maxilla and was started on intravenous ampicillin-sulbactam. His bone culture grew pan-sensitive Raoultella planticola. in addition to that, his bone biopsy revealed diffuse large B-cell lymphoma of the jaw. The patient underwent staging imaging, and he was found to have metastasis to the liver. He was started on chemotherapy and had a good response. In conclusion, Raoultella planticola osteomyelitis is extremely rare. The diagnosis of maxillary DLBCL can be a challenge. Fortunately, our patient had an infection at the same site that led to the diagnosis of DLBCL.
