Noma in an 18 months Toddler: A Rare Case Report with Review of Literature.
Article in Journal of maxillofacial and oral 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
Introduction: Noma is a polymicrobial necrotizing infection of the mouth and face which destroys the soft and hard tissues of the oral and paraoral structures. Malnutrition, poverty, lack of basic hygiene, and chronic disease state etc., possess a risk of developing noma. Noma neonatorum is a progressive gangrenous disease affecting the premature infants. Aim: We present a rare case of noma in an 18 months toddler with a chronic debilitating condition predisposing to the disease progression. Results: The necrotizing infection of the face developed after six months of multiple episodes of chronic blood-tinged diarrhea. The facial defect was managed with release of fibrosis and reconstruction with a superiorly based nasolabial flap. Discussion: Noma reflects extreme malnutrition and poverty with a vast range of etiopathological agents. This case emphasizes the need to understand the host risk factors and etiopathologic agent predisposing to this rare opportunistic and dormant but devastating disease, the morbidities associated with it and measures to prevent it.
