The correlations between vertical maxillary asymmetry and orbital volume in Taiwanese adults.
Article in Journal of dental sciences, 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
Background/purpose: Facial asymmetry often results from discrepancies between the maxilla and mandible. As the maxilla contributes to the orbital floor and lateral wall, variations in its inclination may affect orbital morphology and volumetric symmetry. This study investigated the relationship between orbital volume (OV) and vertical maxillary asymmetry (VMA) and evaluated influencing factors such as sex, age, height, and skeletal pattern. Materials and methods: Cone-beam computed tomography scans of 94 participants (47 men and 47 women) were analyzed. OV, right-left OV discrepancy (DOV), maxillary dimensions, and VMA (mm) were measured. VMA was defined as the vertical height difference between the right and left jugal points relative to the superior facial plane. Participants were divided into three groups on the basis of VMA: Group 1 (-1 Results: Mean OV values were 24.25, 23.64, and 23.90 mm Conclusion: Although overall OV and maxillary dimensions did not differ among groups, greater VMA was significantly associated with increased DOV, suggesting that enhanced maxillary asymmetry corresponds to greater orbital volumetric differences.
