Differences in demographic, etiologic, and clinical features between pure and impure orbital fractures.
Observational study in Japanese journal of ophthalmology, 2026. 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
purposeTo analyze differences in demographics, etiology, and clinical characteristics between pure and impure orbital fractures (with or without orbital rim involvement) STUDY
designRetrospective observational study.
methodsA total of 1104 cases of orbital fractures were reviewed. Fractures were classified as pure (881 cases) or impure orbital fractures (223 cases). Impure fractures were further subdivided into frontal bone (14 cases), zygomaticomaxillary complex (ZMC, 187 cases), and multiple (22 cases) fractures. Data on demographics, fracture types, injury mechanisms, field of binocular single vision (BSV), and associated ocular injuries were analyzed across the groups.
resultsPatients with ZMC fractures were older than those with orbital or frontal bone fractures (P <.001 and P = .007). Bilateral fractures were more frequent in the multiple-fractures group (P <.001). Falls were the leading cause of injury (39%), particularly in ZMC fractures (52%). Motor vehicle accidents accounted for 50% of multiple fractures. The overall rate of ocular injuries was 7.3%, with all globe ruptures (5 cases) occurring in the pure fracture group. Multiple fractures had higher incidences of optic canal fractures and orbital compartment syndrome (P <.001). Frontal bone fractures demonstrated better BSV outcomes, whilst multiple fractures had the worst.
conclusionThis large-scale study highlights the significant influence of age and injury mechanisms on orbital fracture patterns. Frontal bone fractures were associated with more favorable visual function, whilst pure fractures posed greater risk of globe rupture. These findings underscore the importance of tailoring management strategies to specific fracture types and patient demographics.
