Severe Infections after Tooth Removal: a Retrospective Cohort Study.
Article in Journal of oral & maxillofacial research. 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
Objectives: The purpose of this retrospective cohort study was to determine the characteristics of patients hospitalized with severe infections after tooth removal. Material and Methods: A retrospective analysis of medical and dental records of patients hospitalized with severe infections after tooth removal from their hospitalization and their dental records preceding their hospital admission. Descriptive statistical methods were applied. Results: Of 109 patients included in the study, the majority (84%) of patients were above 25 years with a mean age of 42.8 (SD 19.6) years. The extracted teeth were most often surgically removed, and indications for extraction were predominantly a pathological condition in the dental or surrounding tissues. Only one patient had prophylactic antibiotics administered before surgical removal of the tooth. Surgical extraction of a mandibular third molar preceded hospitalization in sixty-three patients (58%) and a distoangular position was the most common (36%). Patients who had a mandibular third molar removed were significantly younger (P = 0.006) and had no comorbidities (P = 0.002) in contrast to those with any other tooth removed. Conclusions: Patients developing severe infections after tooth removal are characterized by the extraction of mandibular third molars, pathologic conditions related to the teeth removed, and absence of prophylactic antibiotics during the procedure.
