The impact of anti-inflammatory drugs on facial odontogenic cellulitis in children: a cross-sectional study in France.
Article in BDJ open, 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
objectiveDental caries is defined by the WHO as a multifactorial non-communicable disease. If left untreated, it can progress to abscesses and then head and neck odontogenic cellulitis. It requires immediate, appropriate, and interdisciplinary treatment. The aim of this study was to draw up an epidemiological profile of these children treated at the Lille University Hospital in northern France and to study the impact of self-medication of anti-inflammatory drugs. MATERIALS AND
methodsA single-centre retrospective, cross-sectional study was conducted on children with odontogenic cellulitis admitted to the paediatric emergency department of the Lille University Hospital between March 2013 and December 2021.
results15.3% of the 636 children included had taken nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs before going to the emergency department. The frequency of pain and trismus was higher in children who had taken nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs than in those who had not. Frequency of hospitalisation was higher in children who had not taken nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs than for those who had (70% vs. 57%, respectively; p < 0.05). Inversely, the mean length of stay was longer for children who had taken nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs than in those who had not (1.1 vs. 0.8 days, respectively; p < 0.05).
conclusionThis first French epidemiological study on odontogenic cellulitis in children underlines the need to develop multidisciplinary prevention and patient education.
