Comparison of Traumatic Brain Injury in Adult Patients with and without Facial Fractures.
Article in Tomography (Ann Arbor, Mich.), 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 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
objectivesFacial fractures and associated traumatic brain injuries represent a worldwide public health concern. Therefore, we aimed to determine the pattern of brain injury accompanying facial fractures by comparing adult patients with and without facial fractures in terms of demographic, clinical, and imaging features.
methodsThis single-center, retrospective study included 492 polytrauma patients presenting at our emergency department from January 2019 to July 2023, which were divided in two groups: with facial fractures (FF) and without facial fractures (non-FF). The following data were collected: age, sex, mechanism of trauma (road traffic accident, fall, and other causes), Glasgow Coma Scale (GCS), the evolution of the patient (admitted to a medical ward or intensive care unit, neurosurgery performed, death), and imaging features of the injury. Data were analyzed using descriptive tests, Chi-square tests, and regression analyses. A
resultsIn the FF group, there were 79% (
