Risk factors for posttreatment mastoid cellulitis in patients with oral malignancy.
Article in Oral radiology, 2023. 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
objectivesTo investigate the possible risk factors for mastoid cellulitis after treatment in patients with oral cancer.
methodsPatients with oral cancer who underwent preoperative and postoperative contrast-enhanced computed tomography (CECT) between January 2017 and March 2020 were retrospectively evaluated. Using an image reporting system, cases with reports containing the keyword "mastoid cellulitis" were registered in the mastoid cellulitis group. Fifty patients with oral cancer who did not develop mastoid cellulitis were randomly selected as the control group. Information concerning age, sex, location, and histopathological type of the primary tumor, presence or absence of cervical lymph node metastasis, and treatment methods were obtained from the hospital's electronic medical records to investigate the association between these factors and the occurrence of mastoid cellulitis.
resultsStatistically significant differences were observed in the following factors: age (p = 0.004), primary tumor site (p < 0.001), histopathological type (p = 0.032), radiotherapy (p < 0.001), and chemotherapy (p < 0.001). Logistic regression analysis revealed that maxillary tumors (p < 0.001), histopathological type (p = 0.047), and radiotherapy (p = 0.0301) were significantly associated with the occurrence of mastoid cellulitis.
conclusionsIn oral cancer, the risk of postoperative mastoid cellulitis was higher in patients with a maxillary tumor, histopathology other than squamous cell carcinoma, and history of radiotherapy.
