From Lockdown to Knockdown: The Return of Violence and Sport in Post-COVID Nasal Fractures.
Article in Craniomaxillofacial trauma & reconstruction, 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
backgroundThe coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic altered nasal fracture epidemiology, with fewer outdoor injuries and more domestic accidents. This study compared intra-pandemic and post-pandemic nasal fracture patterns and their prevention implications. MATERIALS AND
methodsThis retrospective study included patients treated for nasal fractures during February 2020-January 2021 (intra-pandemic) and February 2023-January 2024 (post-pandemic). The post-pandemic cohort was identified using the same eligibility criteria, variable definitions, coding framework, and electronic-record retrieval procedure as the previously published intra-pandemic cohort. The predefined objective was a direct comparison of these two matched periods; no pre-pandemic control group was included.
resultsA total of 290 patients were analyzed (184 post-pandemic and 106 intra-pandemic). In exploratory unadjusted comparisons, sports accidents occurred in 29/184 (15.8%) post-pandemic versus 7/106 (6.6%) intra-pandemic cases (
conclusionThe observed changes are compatible with a return of social, recreational, and traffic-related trauma patterns, although the absence of a pre-pandemic control group and the exploratory nature of subgroup analyses limit causal interpretation. Differences in hospital stay appear to be more closely related to patient-level characteristics than to the study period itself.
