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 determine the influence of different types of orbital fractures on the radiographic post-treatment outcomes.

methodsThe investigation was a retrospective cohort study involving CT data of all patients who underwent delayed primary or secondary surgery for orbital/zygomatico-orbital trauma between 2019 and 2021. The sample was divided into three groups 1, 2, and 3: isolated floor, floor and medial wall, and combined orbit and zygomatic complex fractures. The type of orbital fracture was the exposure, while the outcome measures were reduction in enophthalmos and intraorbital volume and linear relationship between the two variables. Data were analyzed for variance between groups and association. Statistical significance was set at < 0.05.

resultsForty-four patients (3 females and 41 males) with a mean age of 28.6 years were included in the study. Reductions in enophthalmos ( P < 0.001) and intraorbital volume ( P = 0.003) demonstrated significant variance between the groups. For every cubic centimeter of reduction in volume, the reduction in enophthalmos was 0.78 mm ( P < 0.001) in isolated floor fractures, 0.60 mm ( P = 0.013) in combined fractures involving the floor and medial walls, and 0.24 mm ( P = 0.456) in combined fractures of the orbit and zygoma.

conclusionCorrection of enophthalmos strongly depends on the type of orbital fracture. There exists a significant linear relationship between enophthalmos and intraorbital volume in fractures involving the internal orbit.
