Treatment of Mandible Fractures Using a Miniplate System: A Retrospective Analysis.
Article in Journal of clinical medicine, 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 8 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
Three-dimensional (3D) mini plate systems are used in the treatment of mandibular fractures. The system is advantageous in comparison to conventional plates due to the stabilization of tension and compression areas, improved initial stability, and biomechanical behavior. The aim of this retrospective study was to evaluate the use of a 3D miniplate system for the treatment of patients with mandibular fractures. Patients with mandibular fractures treated with a 3D plate system at the Department of Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery, University Hospital Münster, during a period of 5 years, were included in this study. Mandibular fracture conditions and minor and major post-operative complications were reported. In total, 336 patients and 391 mandibular fractures were assessed. The most common fracture site was anterior mandible, and 155 cases involved a tooth-bearing area. Minor complications were seen in 8.03% of cases, whereas only 1.49% of patients suffered from major complications. The treatment of mandible fractures using 3D miniplates resulted in fracture reduction with a low complication rate.
