Radiotherapy-Associated Oral Lesions in a Geriatric Patient with Nasal Squamous Cell Carcinoma: A Case Report.
Article in International medical case reports journal, 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
Background: Patients who receive chemotherapy or radiotherapy may experience oral complications such as oral mucositis, xerostomia, dental caries, periodontal disease, tissue fibrosis, opportunistic infections of the mucous membranes, neurosensory disorders, loss of taste, osteoradionecrosis, and trismus. This complication often causes high morbidity, oral frailty, and decreased quality of life. Oral mucositis is a common side effect of radiotherapy and often causes nutritional disorders and interruption in treatment. Purpose: This case report shows topical management in radiotherapy-treated geriatric patients with multiple oral lesions. It also shows the effectiveness of topical therapy for oral lesions in this case. Case Presentation: A 76-year-old male patient underwent radiotherapy for stage 4 nasal squamous cell carcinoma. After 22 radiotherapy sessions, the patient developed oral mucositis Grade 3 based on WHO criteria, characterized by painful ulcers, trismus, and dysphagia. Case Management: The patient was given topical drug therapy with a combination of 0.9% NaCl compress, 0.025% hyaluronic acid mouthwash, and petroleum jelly. Significant improvement was observed within five days, and resolution of oral mucositis occurred at the third visit. Conclusion: Management of oral lesions in geriatric patients receiving radiotherapy or chemotherapy is useful to prevent disruption of treatment and reduce the risk of oral frailty.
