Reconstruction plates versus single or dual miniplates for angle fractures: Hardware failure and non-union rates.
Article in Bioinformation, 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
Mandibular angle fractures remain common in facial trauma, yet optimal fixation methods remain controversial due to variable hardware failure and non-union rates. Therefore, it is of interest to evaluate reconstruction plates (n=58), single miniplates (n=64) and dual miniplates (n=64) in 186 patients over 5 years with ≥12-month follow-up. Outcomes assessed included hardware failure, non-union, infection and malocclusion across all groups. Reconstruction plates demonstrated superior results with the lowest hardware failure (3.4%) and non-union (1.7%) rates versus single miniplates (12.5%, 6.3%) and dual miniplates (6.3%, 3.1%) (p<0.05). Reconstruction plates provide optimal biomechanical stability for complex mandibular angle fractures, particularly with unfavourable patterns, inadequate dentition, or poor patient compliance.
