Non-odontogenic maxillofacial infections - a 17-years retrospective cohort study.
Article in Oral and maxillofacial surgery, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
purposeA retrospective 17-year review of the epidemiology, microbiological aspects, and treatment of patients hospitalized for non-odontogenic maxillofacial infections.
methodsA retrospective study reviewed 4040 medical records of patients hospitalized at Vilnius University Hospital Zalgiris Clinic during the period of 2003 to 2019. The following data were collected: patient sociodemographic characteristics, length of hospitalization, sources of infection, affected anatomical regions, treatment modalities, microbiological findings, and sensitivity to antibiotics.
resultsThe mean (sd) annual incidence of non-odontogenic maxillofacial infections over the past 17 years was 237 (49) cases, and the mean (sd) hospital stay was 7.3 (4.5) days. The male-to-female ratio was 1.9:1, while the mean (sd) patient age was 42.1 (19.0) years. The need for an additional incision and the involvement of multiple anatomical regions were the strongest predictors of longer hospitalization. A total of 139 microorganism species were identified, with Bacteroides, Prevotella, and Staphylococcus showing the highest resistance to penicillin.
conclusionsLonger hospital stays were associated with older age (≥ 65 years), smoking, systemic diseases, type of treatment, involvement of multiple anatomical regions, and the need for additional surgery. Most of the cultured microorganisms were Staphylococcus species.
