Phototherapies for the management of immediate caustic injuries to a child's mouth: A case report.
Article in National journal of maxillofacial surgery. 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
Caustic soda ingestion is a serious medical and social concern as it may result in damage to the esophagus, pharynx, larynx, and mouth. The treatment for it is highly varying and controversial, since patients may manifest a combination of several symptoms or even none at all. Thus, this paper aimed at reporting a case in which a 2-year-old male Caucasian presenting oral caustic injuries (ulcerative lesions throughout the mouth) was treated by using a combination of antimicrobial photodynamic therapy (aPDT) and photobiomodulation therapy (PBMT) besides conventional supportive care. The treatment proposed resulted in an important clinical improvement of the child's oral condition within a few days, allowing the reintroduction of oral feeding and then hospital discharge. According to this case report, the combination of PMBT and aPDT used concomitantly with conventional supportive care may be useful for improving the oral condition of children suffering from oral injuries induced by caustic soda.
