Salivary Fistula as a Complication After the ORIF of a Mandibular Condylar Process Fracture: A Single-Centre Retrospective Study.
Article in Journal of functional biomaterials, 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
Surgical management of condylar process fractures is associated with postoperative complications, the most common being transient facial nerve palsy. Less frequent but noteworthy is the development of salivary fistulas, which, although rare, constitute a clinically relevant condition. This research aimed to investigate factors impacting salivary fistula formation and treatment in patients surgically treated for mandibular condylar process fracture. This study included 395 patients who underwent open rigid internal fixation (ORIF). Salivary fistula occurred in 5.8% of those treated. Multiple factors were assessed as potential contributors to post-operative fistula formation, but only gender demonstrated a statistically significant association as an independent risk factor (
