Primary Orbital Chondromyxoid Fibroma: A Cause of Monosymptomatic Periocular Pain.
Article in Case reports in ophthalmology. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
Chondromyxoid fibroma (CMF) is a very rare entity, accounting for <1% of all bone tumours. So far, only 4 cases have been reported with the orbit as primary location. Here, we present a case of orbital CMF with periocular pain as the presenting symptom and as the only symptom when the tumour recurred after surgery. A 41-year-old man underwent a CT scan and later an MRI as part of evaluation for left periocular pain that had persisted for a year. Clinical examination was normal. CT and MRI revealed an irregular mass in the lateral part of the left orbital roof. The tumour was removed by curettage, and histopathological examination showed a CMF. The pain was absent for 3 months. A second MRI 5 months postoperatively revealed a recurrence, which was removed surgically, resulting in pain alleviation. In conclusion, CMF is a potential cause of periocular pain, and persistent periocular pain with normal clinical findings should warrant a CT or MRI scan.
