Management of Postoperative Hematoma Following a Lingual Frenectomy: A Case Report.
Article in Cureus, 2025. 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
Ankyloglossia, commonly known as tongue-tie, is a congenital condition characterized by a short, thick lingual frenum that restricts tongue mobility, leading to functional and developmental issues. Surgical intervention, such as a lingual frenectomy, is commonly used to restore tongue function. However, postoperative complications like hematomas can pose significant risks. This case report discusses the management of a sublingual hematoma in a 15-year-old male following a conventional lingual frenectomy. Postoperatively, the patient developed swelling, erythema, and restricted tongue movement, later diagnosed as a hematoma in the sublingual space through ultrasonography. Immediately, the patient was transferred to the critical care unit and started on intravenous antibiotics and analgesics, magnesium sulfate dressing, and close monitoring to prevent airway obstruction The patient improved significantly within 48 hours and completely recovered by the seventh day. This report underscores the importance of early recognition of complications, and prompt management to alleviate risks and ensure favorable outcomes. Furthermore, the necessity for better documentation and the use of multidisciplinary approaches in the management of ankyloglossia is emphasized.
