Investigating the Anatomy and Location of the Infraorbital Canal in Relation to the Adjacent Structures in Cone Beam Computed Tomography (CBCT) Images.
Article in Journal of maxillofacial and oral surgery, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 10 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
Background: Although the canal protects the infraorbital nerve and artery, they can be easily injured during manipulation in this area. This study aimed to examine the structure and position of the infraorbital canal (IOC) and nearby features using cone beam computed tomography (CBCT) images. Methods: This study was conducted on 94 CBCT images (47 men and 47 women of 20-55 years). The infraorbital groove (IOG), infraorbital foramen (IOF) and infraorbital canal (IOC) points, and other related parameters are investigated bilaterally using OnDemand3D software. Data were studied by paired Results: The average angle between IOC, sagittal, axial planes, and IOG 29.08° (SD = 7.33), 56.01° (SD = 10.39), and 121.44° (SD = 43.44). The average IOC and IOG lengths were 10.83 (SD = 3.87) and 19.01 (SD = 5.81) mm. The average IOF vertical diameter was 5.5 (SD = 1.80) mm. The mean skin thickness over IOF was 10.38 (SD = 2.42) mm. The average length between the IOF and the infraorbital rim, the lateral nasal wall, the midsagittal plane, the line perpendicular to the axis of the canine apex, the occlusal plane of the premolar, the vertical axis of the lateral rim of the frontozygomatic suture 9.7 (SD = 2.52), 11.76 (SD = 2.92), 16.4 (SD = 6.42), and 91.11 (SD = 4.15), 42 (SD = 7.61) and 22.55 (SD = 3.25) mm. Images showed the presence of accessory IOF in 13.45% of cases, and the presence of Haller cells in 17.75% of cases, and sex did not affect the studied variables. Conclusion: CBCT is an accurate 3-dimensional imaging modality for assessment of the anatomy of the IOC, IOG, and IOF. Knowledge of the IOC/G anatomy for preoperative treatment planning utilizing CBCT can assist surgeons in avoiding potential surgical complications and improving treatment efficacy.
