Evaluation of Concomitant Orbital Floor Fractures in Patients with Head Trauma Using Conventional Head CT Scan: A Retrospective Study at a Level II Trauma Center.
Article in Journal of clinical medicine, 2019. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 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
backgroundPatients with head trauma may have concomitant orbital floor fractures (OFFs). The objective of our study was to determine the specific CT findings and investigate the diagnostic performance of head CT in detecting OFFs.
methodsWe analyzed 3534 head trauma patients undergoing simultaneous head and facial CT over a 3-year period. The clinical data and specific head CT findings between patients with and without OFFs were compared.
resultsIn our cohort, 198 patients (5.6%) had OFFs visible on CT. On head CT, orbital floor discontinuity, gas bubbles entrapped between floor fragments, inferior extraconal emphysema, and maxillary hemosinus (MHS) were more commonly observed among patients with OFFs (
conclusionHead CT may serve as a first-line screening tool to detect OFFs in head trauma patients. Hence, unnecessary facial CT and additional radiation exposure may be reduced.
