Very Late-Onset Lingual Necrosis Post-radiation in an Adult: A 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
Lingual necrosis is a rare but serious late complication of radiotherapy for head and neck cancer, despite the tongue's rich vascular supply. We report the case of a 59-year-old man who developed unilateral tongue necrosis 16 months after chemoradiotherapy for oropharyngeal carcinoma. A cervico-facial CT scan showed occlusion of the right lingual artery and compensatory dilation of collateral vessels. Surgical debridement of necrotic tissue was performed, and histopathology confirmed the lingual necrosis. The delayed onset and extent of necrosis in this case suggest progressive, radiation-induced microvascular injury. This case highlights the importance of prolonged follow-up and early recognition of atypical post-treatment lesions.
