Pediatric Craniofacial Ballistic Injuries.
Review in Seminars in plastic surgery, 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
Pediatric ballistic injuries are a public health crisis in the United States. Younger children are more likely to sustain craniofacial injuries, which are associated with higher mortality rates. An understanding of the timeline of craniofacial development and the variation in pediatric facial proportions over time is important to guide further treatment of these patients. Management of these patients includes initial stabilization according to the Advanced Trauma Life Support protocol followed by management of time-sensitive injuries. Ballistic injuries often result in soft tissue and bone defects, requiring fixation and coverage. As children experience faster rates of bone healing, fixation should be done promptly. Soft tissue coverage is dependent on the size of the defect; whereas smaller wounds can be closed with primary closure or local tissue rearrangement, larger wounds may require free tissue transfer.
