A novel method for quantifying the biomechanical parameters of orbital soft tissue using a corneal dynamic scheimpflug analyser: a retrospective study.
Article in BMC ophthalmology, 2019. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 10 papers.
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
backgroundTo demonstrate that the Corvis ST could be used to quantify the biomechanical parameters of the orbital soft tissues by measuring and comparing whole eye movement (WEM) using the Corvis in normal eyes and in eyes of patients with Graves ophthalmopathy.
methodsForty four eyes of 44 ophthalmologically normal subjects and 28 eyes of 28 patients with Graves ophthalmopathy were included in the study. After Corvis test, the examiners recorded WEM by air puff. In the patients with Graves ophthalmopathy, the partial correlation coefficient adjusted for age and gender was calculated to analyze the correlation between exopthalmometry and WEM. Same analysis was repeated for the correlation between and the cross sectional area (%) of the extraocular muscles in the orbit CT and WEM.
resultsWEM was 0.314 ± 0.083 mm in the normal subjects and 0.227 ± 0.079 mm in the Graves ophthalmopathy group (p = 0.000). The exophthalmometry was not significantly correlated with WEM after adjusting for age and gender (R = 0.083, p = 0.688). In the 21 Graves ophthalmopathy patients examined by orbit CT, after adjusting for age and gender, WEM significantly decreased as the cross sectional area (%) of the extraocular muscles in the orbit increased (R = - 0.461, p = 0.047).
conclusionsWEM by Corvis could be used to quantify the biomechanical parameters of the orbital soft tissue. However, it is unclear whether WEM effectively represents the orbital biomechanical parameters, because WEM is only 0.6% of the orbital depth.
