Extensive Odontogenic Buccal Space Infection With Multispace Extension in a Diabetic Elderly Patient: 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
Odontogenic infections are common in oral and maxillofacial practice but may progress rapidly in medically compromised individuals. Diabetes mellitus is a recognized risk factor, predisposing patients to severe and recurrent infections with poor healing potential. We report the case of a 70-year-old diabetic, hypertensive, and hypothyroid female who presented with a left buccal space infection extending to the submandibular, sublingual, and infratemporal spaces, complicated by cortical bone erosion and necrotic lymphadenitis. The patient was managed with incision and drainage, extraction of the offending teeth, and broad-spectrum intravenous antibiotics. This case underscores the aggressive nature of odontogenic infections in diabetic patients and emphasizes the importance of early diagnosis, prompt surgical drainage, systemic control, and multidisciplinary management.
