Aetiopathogenesis and Treatment Evaluation of Odontogenic Cellulitis in the Maxillofacial Region: a Retrospective Study.
Review in Journal of oral & maxillofacial research. 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
Objectives: The increasing resistance of microorganisms that cause odontogenic cellulitis to empirically administered antibiotics increases the duration of hospitalization. The aim of this retrospective cohort study is to evaluate the latest data on maxillofacial odontogenic cellulitis in order to provide valuable information for optimizing the treatment of this pathology. Material and Methods: The medical records of patients treated for maxillofacial odontogenic cellulitis at the Hospital of Lithuanian University of Health Sciences (Kauno klinikos), between 2018 and 2023 were analysed. Data on age, gender, general health status, duration of intensive care unit treatment, total duration of treatment, and complications were analysed. The results of the microbiological culture of the pus were used to analyse the primary pathogen, its resistance, and sensitivity to antibiotics and antibacterial treatment. Results: The Conclusions: The most frequently detected pathogens - the streptococcus group - are characterized by a high sensitivity to penicillin and clindamycin as well as third-generation cephalosporins. The most effective empirical antibiotic therapy is a combination of cefazolin and metronidazole and cefuroxime and metronidazole. Diabetes mellitus, lung disease, alternating antibiotic therapy and complications prolong the duration of treatment.
