Management of multiple and displaced mandibular fractures in a pediatric patient sans mandibular immobilization, sans open reduction and internal fixation.
Article in Chinese journal of traumatology = Zhonghua chuang shang za zhi, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled it.
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
Maxillofacial fractures in the pediatric population are generally managed by conservative approaches such as soft diet and medication or semi-invasive procedures namely inter-maxillary fixation or circum-mandibular wiring. These approaches are preferred over any invasive treatment to minimize injury to the growing skeleton and tooth germs. Displaced fractures that cause functional problems such as restricted mouth opening, malocclusion or impaired breathing, mandate open reduction and internal fixation. However, surgical management is associated with morbidity related to general anesthesia, risk of injury to vital structures, and potential, skeletal or dental growth disturbances. This case report describes a non-invasive method of managing displaced, multiple fractures of the mandible in a pediatric patient, with the use of low intensity pulsed ultrasound to achieve favorable clinical outcomes and nil complications. Neither immobilization of the mandible with inter-maxillary fixation nor open reduction and internal fixation was used. Low intensity pulsed ultrasound therapy is painless and patient-friendly.
