Evaluation of Ultra-High Molecular Weight Polyethylene (UHMWPE) Implants in Orbital Fracture Reconstruction: A Multicenter Cohort Study.
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 1 paper.
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
Purpose: Orbital wall reconstruction remains a challenge in reconstructive CMF surgery due to the delicate anatomical structures and their potential functional impairment due to inefficient treatment. The use of biomaterials in reconstructive surgery has revolutionised the therapy in this area. Ultra-high molecular weight polyethylene (UHMWPE) has shown promising results due to its biocompatibility, mechanical properties, and versatility. This paper presents the first clinical study of the use of UHMWPE in orbital fracture reconstruction. Methods: In a multicentre prospective study consisting of 50 patients undergoing orbital floor reconstruction, UHMWPE implants were used to reconstruct the orbital volume after fracture. 46 Patients underwent preoperative and postoperative 3D radiography and orbital volume segmentation. Results: A significant postoperative volume reduction of the affected orbits was observed in the entire cohort ( Conclusion: Orbital wall reconstruction with UHMWPE (marPOR) implants is a reliable method to restore adequate orbital volume for functional and aesthetic recovery in trauma patients.
