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

backgroundThis study aims to determine the normal values of orbital structures according to sex in healthy adults.

methodsDiameters of extraocular muscles, the width of the optic nerve sheath diameter, the length of the inter-zygomatic line, ocular bulb length, and globe position were measured in the T1-weighed MR (magnetic resonance) images in 204 orbits of 102 individuals.

resultsThe mean values of the diameters of the extraocular muscles in males and females were as follows: medial rectus, 3.96 ± 0.52 and 3.58 ± 0.53 mm; lateral rectus, 3.47 ± 0.61 and 3.15 ± 0.48 mm; inferior rectus, 4.47 ± 0.53 and 4.07 ± 0.48 mm; superior rectus, 4.44 ± 0.64 and 4.01 ± 0.56 mm; and superior oblique, 3.68 ± 0.49 and 3.45 ± 0.44 mm. The length of the interzygomatic line in males and females were 102.68 ± 3.89 and 96.95 ± 3.4 mm, the ocular bulb length was 23.33 ± 1.32 and 22.83 ± 1.1 mm, the globe position was 7.66 ± 1.33 and 7.3 ± 1.39 mm, and the width of the optic nerve sheath diameter was 4.65 ± 0.62 and 4.28 ± 0.51 mm, respectively. All measurements were significantly greater for males than for females (

conclusionsWe believe that a practical and quantitative method will be provided by this study for the diagnosis and determination of the normative values of orbital structures.
