Changing Trends of Maxillofacial Fractures in Tumkur - A Prospective Study.
Article in Annals of maxillofacial surgery. 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
Introduction: This study was conducted to evaluate the pattern of maxillofacial fractures in Tumkur city over a decade and to compare the results with similar studies from India and the rest of the world. Materials and Methods: Conducted over a decade, this study included patients requiring treatment of maxillofacial fractures in Tumkur city from October 2013 to November 2023. Results: Peak incidence was noted in the third to fifth decades of life with a mean age of 29.4 ± 2.3 years. Male: female ratio was 4.7:1. The aetiological factors for maxillofacial injuries were: falls (48.5%), road traffic accidents (RTA) (40.3%) and assaults (11.2%). Midface fractures accounted for 54.7% of cases, mandibular fractures for 34.5% and fractures of cranial tables in 10.8%. Open reduction with internal fixation was the most pre-dominant choice of treatment with a conservative mode of treatment in <6% of cases. The mean duration of hospitalisation was 5.3 days. Discussion: he territorial region of Tumkur and its associated culture have shown a unique result of falls (self, coconut) being the major reason for maxillofacial fractures in the Tumkur district. RTAs still remain one of the main causes of maxillofacial fractures in developing countries such as India. Open reduction internal fixation remains the first choice of treatment in facial fractures due to early return of function with minimal morbidity and better nutritional status in patients compared to closed reduction.
