Imaging assessment of deep neck spaces infections: an anatomical approach.
Review in La Radiologia medica, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 12 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
Despite the widespread use of antibiotics, deep neck infections are still a relevant clinical problem and can cause severe and potentially life-threatening complications. Imaging plays a pivotal role into the clinical management of deep neck infections, allowing identification of the source of infections, definition of the precise extension of the disease and early diagnosis of local or distant complications. The complex anatomy of deep neck spaces may hide the actual extent of disease: the knowledge of neck anatomy enables radiologists to rapidly evaluate expected routes of spread of infections and to effectively communicate crucial information to surgeons. Computed Tomography is the most used imaging modality for assessing primary site of infection, extent of disease and local complications. Magnetic resonance imaging may be used as a second level imaging modality for individuating intracranial or spinal complications. The present work aims to review the imaging of deep neck spaces infections, focusing on relevant anatomy and clinical scenarios, underlining practical teaching points for each of them. Familiarity with deep neck spaces anatomy and knowledge of most common routes of spread of infections allow the radiologist to make a prompt diagnosis and to look for early signs of potential complications.
