Extraocular muscle expansion after deep lateral orbital wall decompression: influence on proptosis reduction and its predictive factors.
Observational study in Graefe's archive for clinical and experimental ophthalmology = Albrecht von Graefes Archiv fur klinische und experimentelle Ophthalmologie, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 5 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
purposeTo examine the relationship between extraocular muscle expansion and proptosis reduction (Δproptosis) in patients with thyroid eye disease who underwent deep lateral orbital wall decompression and to analyze the factors that contribute to extraocular muscle expansion.
methodsThis retrospective, observational study included 133 sides from 77 patients with thyroid eye disease. The cross-sectional areas of the greater wing of the sphenoid bone (trigone), extraocular muscles, and superior ophthalmic vein were measured on computed tomographic images. Variables influencing Δproptosis were analyzed using multivariate linear regression analyses with stepwise variable selection. Predictive factors for the rate of postoperative increase in the cross-sectional extraocular muscle areas (Δextraocular muscle) were analyzed using the same statistical method.
resultsThe amount of orbital fat removed (P < 0.001) and rate of Δlateral rectus muscle (P < 0.001) were positively and negatively correlated with Δproptosis, respectively (r = 0.425; adjusted r
conclusionLateral rectus muscle expansion was negatively correlated with proptosis reduction and proved to be predictable before surgery. The results of this study will help predict proptosis reduction after deep lateral orbital wall decompression and to preoperatively plan additional orbital bony and fat decompression.
