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
Background: Fractures of the mandibular corpus and angulus are affected by different forces result from different strength of the muscles that influenced them. Therefore, it is presumed that there is a different in healing rate. Fractal dimension radiologic analysis assesses the trabecular pattern, due to it can be used to observe the healing process of bone fractures. Purpose: The study aimed to compare the healing process of mandibular corpus and angulus fractures with fractal dimension analysis (FD) of trabecular patterns on panoramic radiographs through ImageJ software as consideration to determine mastication loading time. Methods: This retrospective cross-sectional study observed medical records and panoramic radiographs of patients with a diagnosis of corpus and or mandibular angulus fractures undergoing open reduction (ORIF) 1 plate treatment combined with maxillomandibular fixation (MMF) at Hospital in 2017-2023. Observations were carried out on postoperative 1st day, 2nd week, 8-13th week and >13th week respectively. Results: Twenty-five subjects who met the inclusion requirements were involved in the study. The results of Two-Way ANOVA statistical test and Fisher's LSD post-hoc showed that the FD values of corpus fracture were significantly greater than that of mandibular angulus with p 0.000 (H1), 0.003 (H2), 0.03 (H3), 0.000 (H4) respectively. In both groups of mandibular corpus and angulus fractures, there was a significant effect of time with p = 0.00 in each group. The longer the observation time, the more trabeculae patterns were formed in the healing process of corpus and angulus fractures. Conclusion: Post ORIF observation of corpus fracture shows a greater trabecula formation value which indicates faster healing when compared to mandibular angulus fracture.
