Frontal Sinus Fractures.
Review in Seminars in plastic surgery, 2021. 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
Management of frontal sinus fractures is controversial with no universally accepted treatment protocol. Goals of management are to correct aesthetic deformity, preserve sinus function when it is deemed salvageable, prevent sequela related to the injury, and minimize complications associated with intervention. Studies suggest that frontal sinus injuries, including disruption of the nasofrontal outflow tract (NFOT), can be managed nonoperatively in many cases. Advances in the utilization of endoscopic techniques have led to an evolution in management that reduces the need for open procedures, which have increased morbidity compared with endoscopic approaches. We employ a minimally disruptive protocol that treats the majority of fractures nonoperatively with serial clinical and radiographic examinations to assess for sinus aeration. Surgical intervention is reserved for the most severely displaced and comminuted posterior table fractures and unsalvageable NFOTs utilizing endoscopic approaches whenever possible.
