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
objectivesThis project aimed to investigate the relationship between gender, age, mandibular biotype, condylar fracture patterns, and their degree of displacement. MATERIAL AND
methodsTo this end, a sample of 200 facial trauma patients was analyzed to collect data such as age, gender, condylar fracture type, and the degree of displacement. Furthermore, computed tomography scans were analyzed to define mandibular biotypes and the degree of displacement of the condylar bone stumps.
resultsThere was a strong and statistically significant association between mandibular biotype and the type of condylar fracture (p < 0.001). It is likely that the gender variable is associated with mandibular biotype in the analyzed sample, with V-shaped mandibles more common in women (p = 0.0004), and smaller fracture displacement angles (p = 0.01) due to a greater tendency for high fractures (p = 0.01).
conclusionsThere is relationship between mandibular biotype and its role as a marker of sexual dimorphism, in addition to its contribution to the degree of displacement and type of condylar fractures in patients who have suffered facial trauma. CLINICAL RELEVANCE: Mandibular structure, such as shape, height, and width; bone density, cortical and medullary volume; and the mechanical action of the masticatory muscles can affect the variability, stability, and location of fractures, interfering with the response to the magnitude, dissipation, and direction of external mechanical forces originating from the energy of the trauma. Anthropometric study of anatomical features can provide relevant data for better forensic understanding. Regarding the mandible, it can be considered an important tool for understanding mandibular trauma, influencing diagnosis and treatment decision-making.
