Challenge to Eliminate Parasite Palatal Infestation in a Deaf-Mute Geriatric Patient.
Article in Case reports in dentistry, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
Myiasis is a human parasitic disease caused by fly larvae that is rarely found in the oral cavity. Poor oral hygiene among older males can lead to intraoral myiasis. This report describes a rare case of severe, atypical pain caused by maxillary periodontal myiasis in an elderly disabled patient. Maggots infested the hard palate near the anterior maxillary teeth. Despite a radiological examination showing no significant hard tissue alterations, numerous maggots were manually extracted from a hole in the anterior hard palate. Surgical tooth extraction and maggot removal were both performed under general anaesthesia. The patient was also given albendazole to eliminate any remaining larvae.
