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
purposeThis study aimed to evaluate the anatomical symmetry of the left and right orbital cavities to assess the reliability of mirror-image-generated implants for orbital fracture repair, a common approach in reconstructive surgery.
methodsIn a multicenter retrospective analysis, maxillofacial CT and CBCT images from 78 patients were examined to assess differences in the volumetric and linear dimensions of the right and left orbital cavities. Standardized volumetric and linear measurements in both the coronal and sagittal planes were conducted. Statistical analyses were conducted to determine the significance of differences across gender and age groups.
resultsThe study population had a mean age of 41.73 years, with 42% male and 58% female patients. No statistically significant differences in the orbital volume were found between the right (24.23 ± 2.62) and left (23.48 ± 2.53) sides (p = 0.219). Coronal plane measurements, including the orbital floor length (D1) and medial wall length (D2), similarly showed no significant differences between the two sides. In the sagittal plane, minor variations were observed, with average differences not exceeding 0.5 mm in most dimensions. Gender-based and age-based subgroup analyses further revealed no statistically significant differences in orbital measurements across groups, supporting the acceptance of anatomical symmetry between the left and right orbital cavities.
conclusionThe findings indicate that the left and right orbital cavities can be considered symmetrical with respect to volume and linear measurements, validating the use of mirror-image-generated implants for reconstructive purposes. The minor variations observed in the linear dimensions did not compromise the clinical reliability of this approach, supporting its continued application in orbital fracture repair.
