1 · What the graph read from 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.

2 · The registry

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

Invasion of the orbit by tumors of the paranasal sinus represents an advanced state of disease. Prognosis has hardly improved in recent decades, despite multimodal therapeutic approaches. Complete resection of the tumor still remains the most promising therapy. Orbital exenteration implies a dramatic event for the patient's psyche and quality of life. If the eye that would have to be exenterated is the only one remaining with sufficient vision, exenteration should be abandoned in consensus with the patient. Aesthetic improvements following exenteration can be achieved by surgical and prosthetic techniques. The method of prosthesis fixation needs to be determined with respect to the patients' individual expectations and manual abilities. The main aspects of functional rehabilitation are good local cleanability and sufficient nasal breathing without encrusted mucus, which can be achieved by restoring the natural laminar airflow. Tumors of the paranasal sinus with orbital invasion represent a diagnostic and therapeutic challenge. The information regarding prognosis, therapeutic approaches, post-therapeutic quality of life, and rehabilitation options should be thoroughly discussed by patients and therapists prior to treatment.
