Comparison of Ultrasonography with Conventional Radiography in Diagnosis of Zygomatic Complex Fractures.
Article in Journal of maxillofacial and oral surgery, 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 papers.
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
introductionThe diagnosis of zygomatic complex fractures is important in planning the treatment since the complex gives form to the projection, width and height of the midface.
aimThis study was carried out to assess the diagnostic sensitivity and utility of high-resolution ultrasonography in comparison with conventional radiography in the diagnosis of the zygomatic complex fractures. MATERIALS AND
methodTwenty-five cases of clinically diagnosed zygomatic complex fractures were subjected to conventional radiographs and USG study.
resultsThe accuracy in terms of specificity and sensitivity of USG was comparable to conventional radiographs in the detection of the fractures of the zygomatic complex.
conclusionThis study points to the suitability of USG as an alternative to the use of plain radiographs in the diagnosis of zygomatic complex fractures. USG is safe, inexpensive and an accurate adjunct to conventional radiography in diagnosis of zygomatic complex fractures.
