The Transconjunctival Incision: A Boon for Scarless Surgery of the Orbital Region-A Case Series.
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. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
Introduction: Complications following surgery are common, particularly in procedures involving the orbit. Various surgical approaches such as subciliary, subtarsal, and infraorbital incisions often lead to scar formation, which is an inevitable outcome. In contrast, the transconjunctival incision, performed over the palpebral conjunctiva, avoids visible scarring and offers distinct advantages. This case series aims to present the outcomes of using the transconjunctival access in patients with orbital trauma, including infraorbital rim and floor fractures, revision surgery for residual post-traumatic orbital deformities, and ocular cleft revisions. Materials and Methods: This retrospective study included 15 patients who underwent surgical intervention via transconjunctival access. The patients presented with orbital trauma affecting the infraorbital rim and floor, post-traumatic deformities, and those requiring corrective surgery for Tessier 4 cleft. Surgical procedures were performed with careful attention to minimizing visible scarring and optimizing functional and aesthetic outcomes. Results: The transconjunctival approach was successfully used in all cases, with no visible external scars. All patients showed significant improvement in both functional and aesthetic outcomes. In cases of orbital trauma, the restoration of anatomical structure was achieved, while patients undergoing Tessier 4 cleft revision showed substantial correction of the deformity. Complications were minimal, with no major postoperative issues. Conclusion: The transconjunctival surgical approach for orbital trauma, post-traumatic deformities, and Tessier 4 cleft revisions provides a highly effective, scar-free alternative to traditional incisions. This method not only enhances aesthetic outcomes but also ensures functional restoration, making it a viable option for managing complex orbital and facial injuries.
