Uncommon presentation of an intradiploic orbital epidermoid tumor: case report.
Article in Oral and maxillofacial surgery, 2011. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 5 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled it.
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
purposeEpidermoid tumors are uncommon entities that usually occur intradurally in the cerebellopontine angle and parasellar cisterns. The few cases that have been reported to occur in the intraorbital location involve patients in the first four decades of life. To our knowledge, an elderly person presenting with an orbital epidermoid tumor has never been reported.
methodsA 67-year-old man presented with left-sided headache and eye pain. He was found to have a hemorrhagic lesion eroding bone of the greater and lesser wings of the sphenoid that was compressing the frontal and temporal lobes and displacing the globe. Significant edema of the frontal lobe was noted.
resultsAggressive surgical excision was performed with cranioplasty and orbital reconstruction. Near resolution of the patient's proptosis and eye pain was achieved. Histologic analysis revealed the lesion to be an epidermoid tumor.
conclusionsHemorrhage into a growing intradiploic orbital epidermoid and surrounding frontal lobe edema created an unusual presentation of this rarely occurring entity in an elderly man. Surgical excision allowed appropriate histologic diagnosis and resolution of symptoms. Epidermoid tumor is a rare but possible entity in the differential diagnosis of elderly patients presenting with acute ocular pain and proptosis.
