Endoscopic Endonasal Approaches to the Medial Intraconal Space: Comparison of Transethmoidal and Prelacrimal Corridors.
Article in American journal of rhinology & allergy, 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 papers.
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
backgroundEndoscopic transethmoidal and prelacrimal approaches can access the medial intraconal space (MIS).
objectiveThis study aimed to compare advantages and drawbacks of these two approaches, and to explore their appropriate indications for management of lesions at various locations within the MIS.
methodsSix injected cadaveric specimens were dissected using an endonasal approach performing a transethmoidal approach on one side and a prelacrimal approach on the contralateral side. The MIS was divided into three
resultsThe average height of
conclusionConceptualizing the MIS into the three aforementioned Zones seems beneficial to select the optimal approach for lesions restricted to each specific Zone. Both the transethmoidal and prelacrimal approaches provide adequate exposure for select lesions in the MIS.
