Acute upper airway obstruction caused by mouth floor cellulitis in a patient of advanced age: a case report and literature review.
Review in The Journal of international medical research, 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
Mouth floor cellulitis is a type of diffuse cellulitis involving the submandibular, submental, and sublingual spaces. This condition may cause asphyxia due to elevation and posterior deviation of the tissues of the floor of the mouth. The severity of submandibular gland infection often escalates in the presence of underlying comorbidities. Advanced age, hyperglycemia, and an immunocompromised status often lead to the rapid development of infection, resulting in complications such as acute upper airway obstruction. These complications increase treatment difficulty and the risk of mortality. We herein report a case involving an older adult with diabetes who developed mouth floor cellulitis secondary to a submandibular gland infection. Despite the severity of the submandibular gland infection, a timely, effective, and multidisciplinary approach improved the patient's prognosis.
