An Interesting Civilian Case of Complex Maxillofacial Trauma Due to Target Fragmentation Following Bullet Impact and Review of the Branches of the Maxillary Artery.
Article in Cureus, 2020. 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
Serious morbidity and mortality for the operator and bystanders are associated with a lack of knowledge and failure to utilize appropriately manufactured targets. The management of firearm-related facial trauma is challenging and requires rapid intervention from a multidisciplinary team. We present a case of penetrating facial trauma secondary to the fragmentation of a homemade target. We highlight how firearm operators can optimize safety by matching ballistics with target selection and review pertinent vascular structures, including the terminal branches of the external carotid artery and branches of the maxillary artery. This case demonstrates that trauma physicians must be well-versed with complex maxillofacial anatomy and multimodal approaches to hemostasis.
