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 third molar (M3) removal is a routine surgical procedure that can generate a variety of complications, one of the rarest of which is mandibular fracture. The aim of this paper is to report a rare case of bilateral fracture of the jaw during the extraction of mandibular third molars. A 42-year-old woman complained of mandibular pain and malocclusion after the removal of the M3s. The physical examination revealed bone crepitation mandibular bilaterally. Computed tomography confirmed bilateral fracture of the jaw. The patient was submitted to the reduction and fixation of the fractures under general anesthesia, followed by the improvement in the postoperative period. Bilateral mandibular fracture resulting from M3 extractions is a rare occurrence that may be caused by a lack of surgical skill and a flawed diagnosis. The proper, immediate correction could lead to the interruption of the procedure at the time of the first fracture, thereby avoiding the contralateral fracture.
