Inferior Rectus Myositis After Orbital Fracture Repair With the Medpor® Implant in a 38-Year-Old Male Patient.
Article in Cureus, 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
We report a rare case of inferior rectus myositis related to a Medpor® orbital implant (Stryker Corporation, Kalamazoo, MI, USA) following orbital fracture repair. A 38-year-old gentleman, who underwent uneventful orbital floor fracture repair using a Medpor® implant, presented a week later with a dull ache and acute onset of diplopia on up- and downgaze. The symptoms were gradually relieved after a secondary transorbital, transantral biplanar surgical approach for removal of an orbital Medpor® implant and repair of the orbital fracture. Despite the high success rates seen with Medpor® orbital implants, the body may recognize the implant as foreign and can mount an immune response against it.
