Delayed Extrusion of Hydroxyapatite Cement Orbital Floor Implant: A Rare Case Report of Augmentation Failure.
Article in Case reports in ophthalmology. 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: Hydroxyapatite implants are widely used in orbital reconstruction due to their biocompatibility and capacity for osseointegration. Complications such as implant exposure or extrusion typically occur in the early postoperative period, with late-onset cases being exceedingly rare. Case Presentation: This report presents a 78-year-old female who developed hydroxyapatite implant extrusion 7 years after orbital volume augmentation for an anophthalmic socket. She presented with lower eyelid retraction, ectropion, redness, and a fistula in the inferior fornix. Surgical management included implant removal, placement of a dermis fat graft from the abdomen to restore orbital volume, and correction of eyelid deformities using a tarsal strip and full-thickness skin graft. Postoperatively, the patient achieved successful resolution of symptoms, restoration of orbital volume, and correction of eyelid position. Conclusion: This case emphasizes the need for long-term surveillance following orbital reconstruction and highlights effective management strategies for rare delayed implant extrusion.
