1 · What the graph read from 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.

2 · The registry

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 assist in surgical planning in endoscopic approaches, we analyzed the morphometric measurements of the superior orbital fissure (SOF) and optic canal (OC) by three-dimensional multislice computed tomography (3D MDCT) and evaluated them according to age, gender, and lateralization.

methodsThe study analyzed 219 MDCT images (114 women, 105 men) from individuals aged 18-90. Measurements of SOF and OC were performed on 3D MDCT images in the axial plane and with 3D-Slicer software.

resultsThe distance between the infraorbital foramen and the anterior entrance of the maxillary sinus (CBW) (p < 0.001), the distance between the CBW and the lateral point of the SOF (p = 0.001), and the Angle 1 (p = 0.028) were higher in women than in men. While the SOF length and on 3D the SOF width were higher in women than men (p < 0.001 and (p = 0.001, respectively), the lateral wall length OC was higher in men than women (p = 0.045). According to SOF classification, SOF length was highest in type II and lowest in type VIII (p = 0.025), SOF width was highest in type I and lowest in type VI (p < 0.001). No significant difference was found based on age groups and lateralization in all parameters.

conclusionWe found that as the SOF width increased, the SOF length also increased, and there was a statistically strong positive correlation. These findings can contribute to a more effective and safe operation by improving and updating surgeons' knowledge about safe distances to SOF in endoscopic procedures from a 3D MDCT perspective.
