Orbital Intradiploic Epidermoid Cyst: A Case Report of a Rare Entity.
Article in Cureus, 2024. 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
Cranial epidermoid cysts are relatively rare. More frequently reported in middle-aged men with a wide variety of signs and symptoms such as headache, seizures, cerebellar and cranial nerve deficits/visual disturbance. The approach for surgical removal of the cyst depends on its size and location. In addition, a multidisciplinary team must be involved due to the common occurrence of misdiagnosis. We present the unusual age of presentation for intradiploic epidermoid cysts. A 14-year-old boy is complaining of a 2-month history of painless progressive swelling of the right eyebrow. Magnetic resonance imaging revealed an intradiploic cystic mass within the right frontal bone. The cystic mass was removed, and histological examination confirmed the diagnosis of an epidermoid cyst. This case illustrated the potential of developing intradiploic epidermoid cysts in pediatrics.
