Endoscopic transorbital approach to the cavernous sinus: Cadaveric anatomy study and clinical application (
Article in Frontiers in oncology, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 12 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
Objective: Cavernous sinus (CS) invasion is frequently encountered in the management of skull base tumors. Surgical treatment of tumors in the CS is technically demanding, and selection of an optimal surgical approach is critical for maximal tumor removal and patient safety. We aimed to evaluate the feasibility of an endoscopic transorbital approach (ETOA) to the CS based on a cadaveric study. Methods: Five cadaveric heads were used for dissection under the ETOA in the comparison with the endoscopic endonasal approach (EEA) and the microscopic transcranial approach (TCA). The CS was exposed, accessed, and explored, first using the ETOA, followed by the EEA and TCA. A dedicated endoscopic system aided by neuronavigation guidance was used for the procedures. During the ETOA, neurovascular structures inside the CS were approached through different surgical triangles. Results: After completing the ETOA with interdural dissection, the lateral wall of the CS was fully exposed. The lateral and posterior compartments of the CS, of which accessibility is greatly limited under the EEA, were effectively approached and explored under the ETOA. The anteromedial triangle was the largest window Conclusions: Based on the cadaveric study, we demonstrated that the lateral CS wall was reliably accessed under the ETOA. The lateral and posterior compartments of the CS were effectively explored
