Imaging characteristics and clinical correlations of orbital infections in pediatric sinusitis.
Article in Head & face medicine, 2026. 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
backgroundTo analyze the imaging characteristics of orbital infections associated with pediatric sinusitis.
methodsA retrospective analysis was conducted on medical records of children diagnosed with sinusitis-related orbital infections over a 13-year period at Shanxi Provincial Children’s Hospital.
resultsA total of 150 cases were collected and diagnosed according to Chandler’s criteria: Stage I (74 cases), Stage II (42 cases), Stage III (24 cases), Stage IV (6 cases), and Stage V (4 cases). Ethmoid sinusitis was present in 91.3% (95% CI 85.7%–94.9%) of cases and maxillary sinusitis in 96.7% (95% CI 92.4%–98.6%). Ethmoid and frontal sinusitis were significantly correlated with post-septal orbital infections (χ2_ethmoid = 4.335, P_ethmoid = 0.037, odds ratio 3.80 [95% CI 1.00–14.42]; χ2_frontal = 3.882, P_frontal = 0.049, odds ratio 2.55 [95% CI 0.98–6.63]). Ethmoid sinusitis was also associated with subperiosteal abscess formation on the medial orbital wall (χ2 = 15.273, P = 0.011, odds ratio 0.12 [95% CI 0.04–0.40]). Five cases showed discontinuity of the lamina papyracea, with a significant correlation between its defect and the formation of subperiosteal abscesses (χ2 = 7.340, Fisher’s exact test P = 0.007, odds ratio 8.86 [95% CI 1.40–56.22]).
conclusionsPediatric maxillary and ethmoid sinusitis are likely to cause orbital infections. Ethmoid and frontal sinusitis are more prone to cause post-septal infections. Ethmoid sinusitis, along with defects in the lamina papyracea, is closely related to the formation of subperiosteal abscesses on the medial orbital wall.
