Prevalence of mandibular trauma leading to fracture in Eastern India: A retrospective study.
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 fractures pose a major public health burden because their prevalence, anatomical patterns and causes vary significantly across populations, complicating prevention and treatment planning. Therefore, it is of interest to analyze 1,500 radiographically and clinically confirmed mandibular fractures identified from 3,600 outpatient records (2019-2023) at R. Ahmed Dental College and Hospital, Kolkata, after excluding incomplete and pathological cases. Demographic data, etiology, fracture site distribution and fracture multiplicity were recorded and evaluated independently by two examiners using descriptive statistics and chi square tests at a 5% significance level. Young adult males, especially in the 21-30 year age group, were most frequently affected, with road traffic accidents as the leading cause and parasymphysis and condyle emerging as the predominant fracture sites, mostly as single site fractures. Thus, we document parasymphysis fractures in young men secondary to traffic accidents as the dominant pattern in this setting, underscoring the need for targeted road safety policies and maxillofacial trauma prevention strategies.
