Spontaneous Orbital Wall Fracture Secondary to Neglected Graves' Orbitopathy: A Case Report and Review of Current Literature.
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: Spontaneous orbital wall fracture, or bony auto-decompression, is an uncommon manifestation of advanced thyroid eye disease (TED) and results from chronic intraorbital hypertension driven by extraocular muscle hypertrophy. Case Presentation: We report a 72-year-old woman with a 10-year history of untreated Graves' disease who presented with severe right-sided ocular pain, massive proptosis, and corneal melting. Orbital computed tomography demonstrated marked bilateral enlargement of the superior, inferior, and medial rectus muscles and a large spontaneous orbital floor fracture in the left eye with inferior rectus herniation and entrapment, despite no history of trauma. Conclusion: Existing reports consistently indicate that spontaneous orbital wall fractures originate from sustained mechanical pressure on the thin medial or inferior orbital walls in the setting of significant extraocular muscle enlargement. These fractures may present with pain, swelling, or mobility limitation, or may remain asymptomatic and be detected only on imaging. Understanding auto-decompression is crucial for both diagnostic and future surgery planning.
