Odontogenic Cutaneous Fistula in Pregnant Woman: Is Long-Term Antibiotic Therapy the Solution?
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
A 30-year-old pregnant woman developed an odontogenic cutaneous fistula (OCF) five months after having her wisdom tooth extracted. Initially diagnosed as a cutaneous furuncle, the condition was treated with amoxicillin, resulting in temporary improvement. However, it recurred after a month. Upon further evaluation, the lesion was diagnosed as an OCF originating from a chronic dental infection. Due to the patient's pregnancy, the treatment focused on non-invasive periodontal care, including scaling, while antibiotic therapy was maintained. Amoxicillin was initially prescribed; however, due to the progression of the infection, the treatment was switched to clarithromycin after consultation with a dermatologist. Over five months, the lesion gradually resolved, with no acute symptoms remaining. The pregnancy progressed without complications, and the patient gave birth to a healthy baby. This case underscores the challenges of managing odontogenic infections during pregnancy and highlights the importance of tailored antibiotic therapy to ensure the safety of both the mother and fetus.
