Dataset for “Clinical and Occlusal Outcomes of Treatments for Anterior Mandibular Fractures: A Systematic Review and Network Meta-Analysis”

This dataset contains the complete analytical and graphical materials used in the systematic review and network meta-analysis evaluating the clinical performance and post-treatment occlusal outcomes of interventions for anterior mandibular fractures. The files include: Raw and processed data files (.xlsx, .csv) containing study identifiers, sample sizes, treatment types, follow-up periods, and event data (failure rates, malocclusion incidence, and other clinical outcomes). R scripts (.R, .Rmd) used for the end-to-end network meta-analysis, including data preparation, pairwise comparisons, random-effects network estimation, and generation of forest plots, league tables, and treatment ranking (P-scores). CINeMA-related materials (risk-of-bias and indirectness matrices, domain judgments, and heatmaps exported from the CINeMA platform) documenting the confidence assessment for each comparison in the network. Figures (in .png and .pdf formats) illustrating the network geometry, ranking probability plots, CINeMA heatmaps, and risk-of-bias summaries. ReadMe file describing the variable definitions, data structure, and instructions to reproduce all analyses. All data were extracted following PRISMA 2020 guidelines and analyzed using the meta and netmeta R packages (version ≥6.5-0). The reference treatment in all analyses was the conventional two-miniplate fixation approach. This repository supports transparency and reproducibility of the findings reported in the corresponding manuscript.本数据集涵盖了一项针对下颌前骨折干预措施的临床疗效与治疗后咬合结局开展评估的系统评价与网络Meta分析所用的全部分析与绘图素材。 其所包含的文件如下： 1. 原始与处理后的数据文件（.xlsx、.csv格式），内含研究标识符、样本量、治疗方式、随访时长以及事件数据（失败率、错颌畸形发生率与其他临床结局指标）。 2. 用于端到端网络Meta分析的R脚本（.R、.Rmd格式），涵盖数据预处理、两两比较、随机效应网络估计，以及森林图、两两比较汇总表、治疗排序（P评分）的生成流程。 3. 与CINeMA（Confidence in Network Meta-Analysis）相关的素材（从CINeMA平台导出的偏倚风险与间接性矩阵、领域评价结果以及热图），用于记录网络中每项比较的置信度评估情况。 4. 格式为.png与.pdf的插图，用于展示研究网络结构、排序概率图、CINeMA热图以及偏倚风险汇总结果。 5. 说明文档（ReadMe文件），用于阐释变量定义、数据结构以及复现全部分析的操作指南。 所有数据均依据《系统评价与Meta分析首选报告条目2020版（PRISMA 2020）》指南进行提取，并使用meta与netmeta R软件包（版本≥6.5-0）完成分析。所有分析中的参照治疗均为传统双微型钢板固定术。 本数据集仓库可为对应已发表论文的研究结果提供透明度保障与可复现性支持。
