Imaging findings of the orbital and intracranial complications of acute bacterial rhinosinusitis.
Article in Insights into imaging, 2015. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 18 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
unlabelledIn patients with acute bacterial rhinosinusitis severe orbital and intracranial complications can occur. This review will illustrate the anatomic relationship between the paranasal sinuses and the orbital and intracranial compartments. Subsequently, the spectrum of orbital and intracranial complications of rhinosinusitis and related imaging findings will be discussed and illustrated by case material from daily practice. TEACHING POINTS: • Acute bacterial rhinosinusitis can cause severe orbital and intracranial complications. • If orbital or intracranial complications are suspected, cross-sectional imaging is mandatory. • Infection can spread from the ethmoid sinus to the orbit through the lamina papyracea. • Frontal sinusitis can spread intracranially through dehiscences or osteomyelitis. • Radiologists must recognize imaging findings of complications of acute bacterial rhinosinusitis.
