Severe Craniofacial Trauma With Bilateral Epidural Hematomas and Complex Skull Base and Midface Fractures Managed With Early Multidisciplinary Damage Control Surgery and Immediate Osteosynthesis: A Case Report.
Article in Cureus, 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
Severe traumatic brain injury (TBI) associated with complex craniofacial fractures represents a life-threatening condition, requiring prompt, multidisciplinary management. Early intervention and timely access to surgical resources are critical factors influencing outcomes. A 23-year-old male sustained a high-energy motorcycle accident without helmet use. On admission, the Glasgow Coma Scale (GCS) score was 13, followed by neurological deterioration. Cranial computed tomography (CT) demonstrated bilateral epidural hematomas, subdural hematoma, subarachnoid hemorrhage, and extensive craniofacial fractures, including Le Fort II and naso-orbito-ethmoidal (NOE) type III fractures, with skull base involvement. The patient underwent emergent, combined neurosurgical and maxillofacial damage control surgery, followed by early definitive reconstruction using osteosynthesis systems available in an emergency setting. Favorable clinical evolution was observed, achieving a GCS score of 15 at discharge without neurological deficits. Early (<24 hours) multidisciplinary damage control surgery, combined with immediate availability of osteosynthesis materials, may significantly improve neurological and functional outcomes in patients with severe craniofacial trauma.
