Total Resection of Unilateral Adult-onset Xanthogranuloma of the Orbit via a Transcranial Orbital Approach.

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
Adult orbital xanthogranuloma is rare and usually associated with systemic disease. There are several options available to treat this disorder. Periorbital lesions are treated with steroids, chemotherapy, radiotherapy, or local excision; however, there is still no consensus regarding optimal treatment. Here, we report a rare case of orbital xanthogranuloma that was not associated with systemic disease and was treated by transcranial surgery. The patient was a 52-year-old man who presented with a 2-year history of unilateral eye symptoms. A computed tomography scan revealed a well-defined mass in the right orbit. The mass was completely removed via a transcranial orbital approach. The histopathologic diagnosis was xanthogranuloma. No recurrence was observed during 15 months of postoperative follow-up. Complete surgical resection might be an effective treatment option for locally growing sporadic adult xanthogranulomatous disease of the orbit, and allows systemic steroids, chemotherapy, and irradiation to be avoided.
