Mandibular Ramus Fractures: A Case Series of Diversity in Rarity.
Article in Cureus, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
Mandibular ramus fracture is usually minimally displaced as it is surrounded by the medial pterygoid medially, masseter laterally, and the pterygomasseteric sling inferiorly. They are commonly caused either by road traffic accidents or interpersonal violence. Ramus fracture is usually seen in conjunction with other mandibular fractures and is seldom found alone. The ramus is located at the congregation of the dentate and the non-dentate parts of the mandible. Ramus fractures are generally managed by closed reduction when minimally displaced but this technique has its disadvantages like poor maintenance of oral hygiene and prolonged healing time. It can get fractured in various patterns. Owing to the presence of anatomical structures on either side of the ramus and the orientation of the fracture line, the treatment plan varies in each case to prevent paresthesia by preserving the inferior alveolar nerve. This article has demonstrated four distinct kinds of mandibular ramus fractures and their management with open reduction internal fixation (ORIF).
