ReviewHNO2026
[Time is tissue-deep neck infections and oropharyngeal abscesses].
Review in HNO, 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
backgroundDeep neck infections are potentially life-threatening conditions that can spread rapidly due to the complex anatomy of the cervical fascial spaces. They most commonly originate from infections of the upper aerodigestive tract or odontogenic sources and remain associated with significant morbidity and mortality despite advances in treatment.
objectiveThe aim of this study is to outline the pathophysiology, diagnosis, and management of deep neck infections, emphasizing the importance of timely intervention in accordance with the principle of "time is tissue." MATERIALS AND
methodsThis work is a narrative review based on current literature and clinical guidelines. It addresses anatomical considerations, clinical presentation, imaging modalities, and therapeutic approaches.
resultsContrast-enhanced CT is the diagnostic gold standard for evaluating disease extent and complications. Deep neck infections are typically polymicrobial. Early intravenous antibiotic therapy and surgical drainage in cases of abscess formation are essential. Airway management plays a central role.
conclusionThe anatomical structure facilitates rapid spread, potentially reaching the mediastinum. Risk factors such as diabetes and immunosuppression are associated with worse outcomes. Early guideline-based interdisciplinary management is crucial to reduce complications and mortality.
