Beyond the Brackets: A Case Report of Acute Angioedema Associated With Orthodontic Treatment.
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
This case report highlights a rare incidence of acute angioedema triggered by an etchant during orthodontic treatment. It underscores the potential for commonly used dental materials to provoke allergic reactions. A 14-year-old female patient developed lip swelling, burning sensation, and localized pain shortly after etching. The reaction involved predominantly the upper lip, and the patient had no known history of allergy. Clinical signs included diffuse, non-pitting edematous swelling of the lips without systemic involvement. Acute allergic angioedema was diagnosed based on clinical evaluation. Immediate treatment with IV antihistamines and corticosteroids led to complete resolution. Chemical agents used in orthodontics can trigger hypersensitivity reactions. Early recognition, prompt management, and preventive strategies are essential to ensure patient safety during dental procedures.
