Bony realignment after surgical removal of orbital implantation cysts: A case series.
Article in Taiwan journal of 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
Orbital cyst formation following previous orbital fracture surgery is an uncommon complication, yet it poses a significant concern related to permanent implant use. This complication may result in a pronounced mass effect that leads to deformation of the orbital bony walls. We present the three cases of orbital implantation cysts associated with orbital wall deformity, where bony alignment normalized after complete cyst removal. Patients exhibited ocular symptoms, including proptosis, diplopia, and hyperglobus. Surgical management involved total resection of the orbital cyst, removal of the prior implant, and placement of a new absorbable implant. Serial orbital computed tomography imaging performed over a 2-year postoperative period revealed progressive restoration of the orbital wall contour through ongoing bony realignment, with no evidence of implant migration or cyst recurrence. To the best of our knowledge, these cases provide the first documented radiological proof that bony remodeling after mass effect from an orbital implantation cyst is reversible, indicating that bone deformation caused by chronic compression can return to normal anatomy. This series underscores the necessity of thorough cyst excision and highlights the potential for anatomical correction following surgical intervention.
