1 · What the graph read from 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.

2 · The registry

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

backgroundThe aim of this study was to identify the clinical pattern of midfacial fractures and concomitant associated injuries in our geographical area, as well as to correlate them in order to determine the type of fracture with the highest incidence of associated injuries. MATERIAL AND

methodsA 10-year retrospective evaluation of midfacial fractures was performed in 379 patients.

resultsZygomatic complex fractures had the highest incidence (n=242, 50%). The majority of the fractures were complete (n=561, 92.42%), closed (n=473, 84.16%) and without displacement (n=454, 80.78%) regardless of the location of the fracture line ( p=0.014). All patients had at least one associated soft tissue injury (n=379, 100%). The most frequent associated injury was hematoma (n=308, 73.51%). Hematomas were predominant in the case of single fractures, while lacerations and excoriations were prevalent in the case of multiple fractures ( p=0.000).

conclusionsFollowing trauma of the midface, patients with soft tissue hematomas will most probably have an underlying fracture with a single trajectory, while patients with lacerations will most probably have concomitant multiple bone fractures.
