Normative data for interorbital distance in a paediatric Caucasian population.
Article in Surgical and radiologic anatomy : SRA, 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
backgroundOrbital growth represents a key component of craniofacial development to investigate due to the many craniofacial abnormalities which can interfere with it. Defining orbital growth patterns is essential for distinguishing physiological from pathological orbital development. Normative orbital growth data in Caucasian paediatric populations remain scarce.
objectiveOur study aimed to determine interorbital distance in a healthy Caucasian children population. MATERIALS AND
methodsA retrospective study was conducted in France, based on craniofacial CT scans measurements in patients aged from 3 months to 10 years. Measurements were taken at the neuro-ocular plane and included the bony inner interorbital distance (IOD), bony lateral orbital distance (LOD), and IOD/LOD ratio. Mean +/- SD was calculated for each age group, and comparisons between sexes and age groups were performed using the Mann-Whitney test (p < 0.05).
resultsA total of 466 CT-scans were analysed (216 females and 250 males). The mean IOD increased progressively, from 18.76 +/- 1.17 mm at 3 months to 22.79 +/- 1.73 mm at 10 years of age. The most important increase of IOD and LOD values was observed during the first 2 years of age (p < 0.01) and between 7 and 8 years of age (p < 0.05). The IOD/LOD ratio remained constant with age, showing isometric growth of the orbits.
conclusionThis study provides detailed normative data of orbital measurements in Caucasian children and highlights two critical periods of accelerated orbital growth.
