Customized Intraoral Appliances for Self-Inflicted Oral Injuries in Pediatric Neurological Disorders: A Case Series.
Article in Cureus, 2026. 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
Self-inflicted oral injuries in children with neurological disorders represent a significant clinical concern due to their multifactorial impact on oral and systemic health. Neurological disorders, such as febrile infection-related epilepsy syndrome (FIRES) and glutaric aciduria type I, may cause dystonia, involuntary orofacial movements, and self-inflicted biting, resulting in oral trauma. Management typically requires an interdisciplinary approach combining behavioral and pharmacologic strategies with protective intraoral appliances and, in selected cases, to prevent further trauma and preserve function. Three pediatric cases with neurological disorders in this series presenting with self-inflicted oral injuries were successfully managed with a customized intraoral appliance. All children showed mucosal healing within 7-10 days and no recurrence of trauma during the periodic follow-ups. Customized appliances provided effective protection, durability, and hygiene compatibility.
