Evaluation of Mandibular Fractures in a German Nationwide Trauma Center Between 2015 and 2017.
Article in Journal of maxillofacial and oral surgery, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 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
Introduction: This study analyses the treatment of isolated mandibular fractures between 1.1.2015 and 21.31.2017 at Dortmund General Hospital. Materials and Methods: Patient documentation and radiological images have been assessed, and a descriptive statistical analysis has been performed. Results: Three hundred and twenty-eight patients were identified with isolated mandibular fractures (259 male, 69 female). The male-to-female ratio is 3.75: 1. A total of 541 fracture sites have been identified (1.65 fractures/patient). Forty of these were observed in the dentoalveolar region (fracture of the alveolar process, dental injuries), and the other 501 injuries were distributed in the remaining parts of the lower jaw.A detailed analysis of the osteosynthesis implants is provided. A total of 20 serious complications were observed (6% in all primary cases, 4.5% without osseointegrated implants). Discussion: The demographic data and the anatomical distribution of the fracture sites are comparable with international literature. Dentoalveolar injuries mostly occur in younger patients. The complication rate in this study (4.5%) is below the international data; however, we found a considerably higher rate than in the midfacial region (central midface: 0%, lateral midface: 1.43%). Despite this complication rate, the procedure can be considered safe. Supplementary information: The online version of this article (10.1007/s12663-021-01513-4).
