Role of finite element analysis for selection of single point fixation in zygomaticomaxillary complex fracture.
Article in BMC oral health, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. It is linked to trial NCT05819372 (Role of Finite Element Analysis for Selection of Single Point Fixation in Zygomaticomaxillary Complex Fracture), which is not on this map.

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.

Abstract
backgroundOne-point fixation was superior to the two and three-points fixation in minimally displaced zygomaticomaxillary complex (ZMC) fracture regarding the cost, invasiveness, scaring, number of wounds, and operation time. Accordingly, this study aimed to predict which one-point fixation is the most stable in managing minimally displaced ZMC fracture. MATERIAL &
methodsThis study simulated the different one-point fixation approaches on three ZMC models after fracture reduction and application of all forces exerted on the fractured area. The findings were represented as stress impact on the ZMC fracture and plating system as well as the inter-fragments micro-motion.
resultsThe von misses stresses of plates for the zygomaticofrontal, infra-orbital rim, and zygomaticomaxillary buttress model were (66.508, 1.285, and1.16 MPa) respectively. While the screws' von misses for the infraorbital rim, zygomaticofrontal, and zygomaticomaxillary buttress models were (13.8, 4.05, and 1.60 MPa) respectively. Whereas, the maximum principles stress at zygomaticofrontal, zygomaticomaxillary buttress, and infraorbital rim models were (37.03, 37.01, and 34.46 MPa) respectively. In addition, the inter-fragment micro-motion for zygomaticomaxillary buttress, infraorbital rim, and zygomaticofrontal models were (0.26, 0.25, and 0.15 mm) respectively.
conclusionOne-point fixation at zygomaticomaxillary buttress is the preferred point because it is exposed to low stresses, and the inter-fragment micro-motion is within the approved limit with the elements in the same direction of fixation which indicates the rigid fixation. In addition, it is less palpable and scarless.
