An Evaluation of Risk Factors, Symptoms, Treatment and Complications of Odontogenic Infections: a retrospective study of 20 years.
Article in Journal of maxillofacial and oral surgery, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 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
Purpose: Contribute to the understanding of the clinical course of patients admitted with odontogenic infections. Methods: Five hundred and seventy-three medical records were evaluated between 1st January 2002 and 31st December 2023 in a cohort study. All patients diagnosed with odontogenic infections, regardless of age, gender, race, or other demographic classifications, were included. Date of first visit, date of hospitalization, and discharge were collected. The signs and symptoms, laboratory and imaging abnormalities, and the conducted treatment were also documented. Results: Patients with poor socioeconomic status, those with serious systemic diseases, chemical dependents, alcoholics, and smokers present an increased relative risk of a worse clinical course. Another relevant point was the teeth involved in the picture, the lower molars, and premolars being the most relevant. Conclusions: The results obtained allow us to conclude that the gold standard treatment is the removal of the cause, followed by incision and drainage of the spaces involved.
