Tissue Necrosis as a Rare Complication of Local Anaesthesia - A Case Series.
Article in Annals of maxillofacial surgery. 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
Rationale: Lignocaine, amongst all the local anaesthetic agents, is the most common agent used in dentistry and in the field of oral surgery. Local anaesthesia is very effective, safe and simple to use. Rare complications related to it are reported. Patient Concerns: We present a case series of patients with sloughing and necrosis of tissue allegedly caused due to administration of contaminated local anaesthesia. All the patients had a history of extraction by same practitioner at same time duration and centre. Diagnosis: The patient was diagnosed with post-anaesthetic tissue necrosis. Treatment: All the cases presented in this report were managed conservatively. Outcomes: On 2-month follow-up, the lesion healed and was replaced by healthy tissue. Take-away Lesson: Risk factors should be well assessed and precautions must be taken before administration of lignocaine to avoid the adverse outcome.
