Odontogenic Infection Pathway to the Parapharyngeal Space: CT Imaging Assessment.
Article in Journal of maxillofacial and oral surgery, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 8 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.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
Introduction: Parapharyngeal space infection may lead to severe and potentially life-threatening complications. The aim of this study was to assess the odontogenic infection pathway to the parapharyngeal space using CT imaging. Materials and Methods: Nineteen patients in mandibular odontogenic infections with abscess who underwent contrast-enhanced CT were evaluated in this study. We reviewed the location of abscess and spread of odontogenic infections to the different components of the buccal space, submandibular space, sublingual space, masticator space and parapharyngeal space using CT imaging. The location of abscess and spread of odontogenic infections were analyzed with the Pearson Chi-square test. Results: Regarding the odontogenic infection pathway to parapharyngeal space, the masticator space (100%) was the most frequent, followed by the buccal space (85.7%), submandibular space (85.7%) and sublingual space (57.1%), while those without parapharyngeal space, the submandibular space (83.3%) was the most frequent, followed by the buccal space (75.0%), masticator space (58.3%) and sublingual space (33.3%). The masticator space was significant space in patients with/without parapharyngeal space infection ( Conclusion: CT imaging could be an effective method in assessment of odontogenic infection pathway to the parapharyngeal space. The odontogenic infection in masticator space tends to display spread of parapharyngeal space.
