Repair of Orbital Floor Fractures Using Maxillary Bone Grafts.

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
Background: This study aimed to present maxillary bone grafts as a favorable option for the reconstruction of traumatic orbital floor (TOF) defects. Methods: The senior author's preferred surgical technique using a transconjunctival incision is described. Patients undergoing TOF repair using maxillary bone grafts versus titanium mesh were then assessed retrospectively, with a focus on the size of the TOF defect, operative time, and complications. Results: A total of 389 patients presented with 426 TOF defects to a single surgeon between 2006 and 2021. Maxillary bone grafts were used to repair the orbital floor fracture in 304 patients (332 fractures), whereas the remaining 85 patients (94 fractures) were repaired using titanium mesh. There were no significant differences in age or sex. Orbital defect size was slightly higher in the titanium mesh group (bone graft group: mean 1.58 cm Conclusions: This study serves as the largest clinical series to date examining indications, surgical technique, safety, and efficacy of maxillary bone grafts in TOF repairs. Maxillary bone grafts represent a viable option to be considered in the armamentarium of the craniofacial surgeon for the treatment of TOFs.
