Pediatric Palate Fractures: An Assessment of Patterns and Management at a Level 1 Trauma Center.

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
STUDY
designLiterature discussing palate fractures in the pediatric population is limited. We performed a retrospective review of pediatric palatal fractures at our institution to better understand the impact of this fracture pattern in the pediatric patient.
objectivesThe goal of our study is to analyze our institutional experience with pediatric palate fractures, focusing on epidemiology, concomitant injuries, and fracture management.
methodsRecords were collected for all palatal fractures in pediatric patients diagnosed between 2000 and 2016 at an urban Level I trauma center. Patient imaging was reviewed. Demographic characteristics and inpatient clinical data were recorded.
resultsNine pediatric patients were diagnosed with fracture of the bony palate. Average age was twelve with male predominance (66%). Pedestrian struck injuries (33%) and motor vehicle accidents (33%) were the most common etiologies. Five patients sustained skull fractures. Three patients were found to have intracranial hemorrhage, two required emergent bolt placement. Two patients sustained cervical spine injury. One patient had severe facial hemorrhage requiring embolization. According to the Hendrickson classification, there were three type I fractures, two type II fractures, one type III fracture, one type IV fracture, and one type V fracture. Lefort I and/or alveolar fracture was present in every patient. Four patients underwent surgical treatment with open reduction and restoration of facial height with maxillomandibular fixation. Three patients underwent concomitant mandible fracture repair.
conclusionsPediatric palatal fractures are rare and are usually accompanied by devastating concomitant injuries. Surgical repair of the palate in the pediatric patient is often necessary to restore facial height.
