Infraorbital Swelling Induced by an Inadvertent Local Anesthesia Technique in a Six-Year-Old Female Child: A Clinical Case Report.
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
Local anesthesia (LA) plays a crucial role in managing pain during dental procedures, but its administration must be handled with care, particularly in children, where complications are not uncommon. This report presents a case involving a six-year-old girl who had a broken upper right first molar due to decay for the past three months. An extraction was planned under LA. Following the infiltration technique of LA administration using 2% lignocaine solution with 1:80,000 adrenaline, swelling appeared in the right infraorbital region almost immediately. The swelling resulted from inadvertent deposition of the anesthetic in the infraorbital area due to excessive needle penetration, which occurred as the child became uncooperative during the injection. The patient was prescribed analgesic eye drops and a topical ophthalmic ointment by the ophthalmologist, and the symptoms started subsiding within four hours. This report also explores prevention and management strategies for such complications in pediatric dental care.
