1 · What the graph read from it

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.

2 · The registry

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

Introduction: Mandibular angle fractures represent a distinct subgroup of mandibular fractures with unique anatomical and biomechanical characteristics. However, factors influencing fracture patterns and treatment complexity remain incompletely understood. This study aimed to characterize the clinical, anatomical, and morphological features of mandibular angle fractures and to identify factors associated with fracture behavior. Methods: This retrospective monocentric cohort study included 115 patients treated for mandibular angle fractures at a tertiary referral center between January 2015 and December 2025. Demographic, fracture related, radiological, morphological, dental, and treatment variables were retrospectively collected and analyzed to evaluate factors associated with fracture patterns, treatment complexity, and clinical outcomes. Results: Of 115 patients, 104 (90.4%) were male and 11 (9.6%) were female. Female patients were significantly older than male patients ( Conclusion: Mandibular angle fractures appear to be primarily influenced by anatomical and biomechanical characteristics rather than trauma mechanism alone. Craniofacial morphology, age, and dental status may contribute to fracture patterns and treatment complexity, supporting a more individualized assessment of mandibular angle fractures.
