ReviewSurgical and radiologic anatomy : SRA2017
An update on the variations of the orbital blood supply and hemodynamic.
Review in Surgical and radiologic anatomy : SRA, 2017. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 29 papers, 2 of them syntheses that pooled 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.
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
purposeSeveral variations of the arterial blood supply of the orbit have been reported over the years. This review is aimed to provide an update focusing on three important issues: (a) variations of the ophthalmic artery origin; (b) contribution of the external carotid artery to the orbital blood supply; (c) orbital hemodynamic.
methodsA PubMed and Google search was carried out with the following keywords: ophthalmic artery origin, ophthalmic artery anastomoses and ophthalmic artery anatomy.
resultsThe site of origin of the ophthalmic artery displays a limited number of variations. However they are important as they are also associated with course variations. Anastomoses between the ophthalmic artery and the external carotid artery are numerous and many of them can acquire clinical relevance. Records on their anatomic frequency are limited. Orbital hemodynamic variations are a poorly studied subject. Recent investigations in children have unveiled unexpected variability and instability in the way the blood flows through the orbit.
conclusionsThe orbit shows several possible arterial variations. Some of them have a profound influence on its hemodynamic at least in children. More studies are required to ascertain if the hemodynamic variability observed in children can be pinpointed also in adults.
