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

Objectives: To evaluate the reliability and accuracy of a portable structured light-based three-dimensional (3D) imaging system for volumetric measurement in the periorbital region. Methods: Five hemispherical 3D printed resin models with different sizes and colors, including the flesh-colored models with 6 (Model 1), 4 (Model 2), and 2 (Model 3) mm in diameter, and the black (Model 4) and gray (Model 5) models with 6 mm in diameter, were affixed to the lower eyelid or upper eyelid of 40 volunteers. One researcher used the portable 3D imaging system to collect the 3D images and two raters measured the volume of the models on images. Intra-device, intra-rater and inter-rater reliabilities and accuracy of the volumetric measurement were evaluated by intraclass correlation coefficient (ICC), mean absolute difference (MAD), technical error of measurement (TEM), relative error measurement (REM), and relative TEM (rTEM). Results: The intra-device reliability of the 3D imaging system for volumetric measurement in the periorbital region was excellent (ICC = 0.922, MAD = 0.11 mm Conclusion: The portable 3D imaging system proved to measure the volumes of periorbital flesh-colored objects reliably and accurately. This finding demonstrated that this device has great potential for diagnosis, post-operative evaluation, and long-term follow-up of volumetric changes in oculoplastics.
