Efficacy of 3D Microplates in the Management of Anterior Mandibular Fractures: A Prospective Study.
Article in Journal of maxillofacial and oral 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
Aim: To clinically evaluate the efficacy of 3D microplates for osteosynthesis for stabilization of anterior mandible fractures. Material and Methods: This prospective clinical study was conducted on a group of 20 patients who underwent open reduction for fractures of the anterior mandible and fixation using a 1.2-mm 8-holed titanium microplate. Patients were evaluated for various parameters like postoperative occlusion, radiographic accuracy of reduction and healing. Results: Operating time ranged from 50 to 90 min depending on associated fractures. Out of 20 patients, 12 patients had condylar fractures, only 6 patients required postoperative MMF, and the other six exhibited satisfactory and stable postoperative dental occlusion. Mouth opening improved gradually. Only 4 patients had paraesthesia and wound dehiscence which resolved by the end of 1 month postoperatively. Conclusion: 3D microplate system is easier method for fixation of mandibular fractures. The 3D microplate system provides good stability, and operating time is short because of simultaneous stabilization at both superior and inferior borders. The rate of complications is exceptionally low.
