Diabetic Maxillary Osteomyelitis: A Worrisome Vulnerability-Our Experience.
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 6 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
Background: Osteomyelitis is inflammation of medullary cavities, haversian system and adjacent cortex of bone. It is devastating to patients when invasive. Aim: The purpose of this study is to retrospectively review patients diagnosed with diabetic maxillary osteomyelitis and evaluate factors relating infection & diabetes. Methodology: Case records of patients diagnosed with diabetic maxillary osteomyelitis were studied. Patient's demographic data, predisposing factors, etiology, clinical features, culture sensitivity reports, microbiology, treatment and complications were studied. Diabetic status was confirmed by glycosylated hemoglobin (HbA1c) test. Duration of diabetes and anti-diabetic medication adherence was also studied. Results: There were 28 patients diagnosed with diabetic maxillary osteomyelitis, (23-male; 5-female). Majority of the patients (60.7%) belonged to fourth & fifth decades. Twenty (71.4%) patients had poorly controlled diabetes (HbA1c > 8%). All patients reported with random blood sugar > 200 mg/dl. Thirteen patients (46.4%) were diagnosed for diabetes on admission and 11 patients (39.3%) had poor anti-diabetic medication adherence. Predominant etiology was odontogenic infection (50%). Cases of bacterial osteomyelitis (50%) were more frequent than those of fungal osteomyelitis (32.1%). Recurrence was observed in three cases. Conclusion: Non-cognizance about diabetes mellitus can prove devastating for maxillofacial region and may prove fatal for the patient.
