Mandibular Fracture Patterns in a Rural Setup: A 7-Year Retrospective Study.
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 3 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
Aim: This study is designed to outline the probable patterns of mandibular fracture based on patient demographics and mechanism of injury in a rural setup. Materials and Methods: The data from the record section in our unit belonging to patients who sustained fractures in the maxillofacial skeleton and were treated in our unit between the period June 2012-May 2019 were collected and analyzed. The variables analyzed for the study were etiology, gender, age, and type of fracture. All cases were treated by open reduction and rigid internal fixation. Results: A total of 224 patients with maxillofacial fractures were diagnosed, of which 195 were male and 29 were female. The ages ranged from 7 to 70 years. Road traffic accidents are noted to be the most common cause of mandibular fractures. The maximum cases were in the age group of 21-30 years with 85 (38%) patients. In a total of 224 patients, there were 278 mandibular fractures. The maximum incidence of fractures was in the mandibular parasymphysis region with 90 fractures accounting for 32.3% of the mandibular fractures. Males were more susceptible to mandibular fractures. Majority of them sustained mandibular fracture at more than one anatomical area. Conclusion: It can be concluded that mandibular fractures are seen predominantly in the second and third decades of life due to road traffic accidents with high-speed vehicles and lack of protective safety accessories. Mandible when it fractured, it usually involved more than one anatomical location.
