An evaluation of the demographic features and causes of mandible fractures and the relationships with the side, type, and anatomic location.
Observational study in Medicine, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 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
Mandibular fractures are one of the most common maxillofacial bone fractures that can occur during many activities in daily life. The aim of this study was to provide data for practitioners and researchers about the variables and outcomes associated with mandibular fractures by examining the relationships between gender, age groups, trauma causes, side, type, and anatomic location of mandibular fractures and concomitant injuries. The demographic and clinical data of the patients were obtained from the hospital information management system of a university hospital. The hospital records for the 10-year period between 2014 and 2023 were examined retrospectively. The mandible fractures were classified according to type, side, and location and compared against gender, age group, and trauma cause. Evaluation was made of 142 patients with traumatic mandibular fracture, comprising 76.8% males and 23.2% females. Of these cases with mandible fracture, 82.4% were aged < 35 years, and 45.1% of the fractures occurred in road traffic accidents. The majority of mandibular fractures were caused by road traffic accidents in males and adults over the age of 18, whereas home, environmental, and leisure accidents were the major cause of mandibular fractures in females and persons under the age of 18. Compound fractures were determined in 59.2% of the cases, single fractures in 80.3%, and parasymphysis and symphysis fractures in 46.2%. The compound and parasymphysis/symphysis region fractures were more common in males, patients aged < 35 years, and those who had undergone any type of trauma. We consider the information obtained through this study could make significant contributions to the data bank for multicenter prospective in-depth epidemiological research in clinical and forensic sciences in the future.
