Isolated Styloid Process Fracture of the Temporal Bone: A Rare Assault-Related Injury.
Article in Cureus, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
Traumatic fractures of the styloid process of the temporal bone, whether related to assault or not, are uncommon injuries and rarely encountered as an isolated entity. The rarity of these fractures often leads to their being overlooked and misdiagnosed. Diagnosing an isolated styloid process fracture requires a high index of clinical suspicion and meticulous evaluation of computed tomography (CT) images. However, it would be challenging without an accompanying maxillofacial fracture. In this report, we present an isolated traumatic fracture of the styloid process in a patient admitted to the emergency department with physical assault and highlight the significance of the multiplanar and three-dimensional (3D)-CT reformatted images.
