Orbital Cellulitis in a Patient With Sphenoid Wing Meningioma.
Article in Cureus, 2021. 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
We report a case of a 43-year-old woman with an underlying right sphenoid wing meningioma (SWM) who complained of increased right eye swelling, proptosis, redness and severe pain for two weeks. Her symptoms started one week after completing radiotherapy. She seeked treatment after a worsening of symptoms. An urgent computed tomography (CT) scan of the brain was done and showed increasing extension of tumour and hypodense areas within intraorbital region of the tumour with intraorbital fat stranding. She was treated as right eye orbital cellulitis with a differential diagnosis of tumour lysis syndrome. She was started on a combination of intravenous antibiotics and improvements were noticed after two days of treatment. This report presents the diagnostic challenge in managing orbital swelling in a patient with sphenoid wing meningioma with inconclusive radiological findings. Orbital cellulitis is an ocular emergency that requires prompt treatment and can potentially be vision and life-threatening, if not addressed early. In such cases with diagnostic dilemma, the decision to treat should be made as early as possible.
