Patterns of brain injuries associated with maxillofacial fractures and its fate in emergency Egyptian polytrauma patients.
Article in Chinese journal of traumatology = Zhonghua chuang shang za zhi, 2018. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. An erratum has been issued. Cited by 13 papers, 2 of them syntheses that pooled it.
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
purposeMaxillofacial injuries are commonly encountered in the practice of emergency medicine. More than 50% of patients with these injuries have multisystem trauma that requires coordinated management between emergency physicians and surgical specialists in oral and maxillofacial surgery, otolaryngology, plastic surgery, ophthalmology, and trauma surgery. The aim of this study is to identify the patterns of brain injuries associated with maxillofacial trauma and its outcome.
methodsThis descriptive study (cross-sectional) was carried out among 90 polytrauma patients with maxillofacial fractures attending the Emergency Department at Suez Canal university Hospital and fulfilling our inclusion and exclusion criteria.
resultsThis study demonstrates the relation between type of maxillofacial fracture and type of traumatic brain injuries in which the majority of patients with epidural hemorrhage presented with mid face fractures (60%), while the minority of them presented with upper and lower face fractures (20% for each of them). The majority of patients with subdural hemorrhage were associated with mid face fractures (75%), the majority of patients with brain contusions associated with mid face fractures (75%), and all of the patients presented by pneumocephalus were associated with mid face fractures (100%).
conclusionThe results of this study confirm the value of quick diagnosis and early intervention, which is fundamental to prevent morbidity as well as mortality especially with regards to prevention of traumatic brain injury as even a short duration of hypoxia and edema will lead to significant permanent neurological deficits.
