Impact of Social Determinants of Health in the Treatment of Closed Nasal Bone Fractures.
Article in Craniomaxillofacial trauma & reconstruction, 2026. 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
STUDY
designRetrospective cohort study.
objectiveTo determine the association of social determinants of health with rates of closed nasal bone reduction.
methodsA retrospective analysis of the National Trauma Data Bank (NTDB) from 2011 to 2019 was performed, including only adult patients with isolated nasal bone fractures. Logistic regression modeling was used to estimate the association between closed nasal bone reduction and sociodemographic variables.
resultsA total of 149,312 patients were included, with an average age of 50. Most patients were male (68%), White (72%), and non-Hispanic/Latino (77%), with Medicare insurance (25%). Most patients were cared for at non-university (54%) and non-profit hospitals (88%). A total of 39% were cared for at an ACS level 1 trauma center. Finally, 3.3% of the patients in this study underwent closed reduction. The odds of undergoing reduction decreased with increasing age (OR: 0.99, CI: (0.99, 0.99)). Compared to White patients, Asian and Black/African American patients had decreased odds of closed reduction (Asian: OR (CI) 0.71 (0.53, 0.95); Black: OR (CI): 0.71 (0.65, 0.79)). Patients with government insurance or who were uninsured had lower odds of closed reduction compared to private/commercial insurance, with Medicaid, Medicare, and not billed/self-pay odds ratios of 0.83 (CI: (0.76, 0.90)), 0.81 (CI: (0.73, 0.89)), and 0.79 (CI: (0.72, 0.86)), respectively.
conclusionsSocial determinants of health are associated with differential rates of inpatient closed nasal bone reduction. Further studies in the outpatient setting are needed to determine if these associations remain consistent.
