The Transorbital Approach: A Comprehensive Review of Targets, Surgical Techniques, and Multiportal Variants.
Review in Journal of clinical medicine, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 28 papers, 2 of them syntheses that pooled it.
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
The transorbital approach (TOA) is gaining popularity in skull base surgery scenarios. This approach represents a valuable surgical corridor to access various compartments and safely address several intracranial pathologies, both intradurally and extradurally, including tumors of the olfactory groove in the anterior cranial fossa (ACF), cavernous sinus in the middle cranial fossa (MCF), and the cerebellopontine angle in the posterior cranial fossa (PCF). The TOA exists in many variants, both from the point of view of invasiveness and from that of the entry point to the orbit, corresponding to the four orbital quadrants: the superior eyelid crease (SLC), the precaruncular (PC), the lateral retrocanthal (LRC), and the preseptal lower eyelid (PS). Moreover, multiportal variants, consisting of the combination of the transorbital approach with others, exist and are relevant to reach peculiar surgical territories. The significance of the TOA in neurosurgery, coupled with the dearth of thorough studies assessing its various applications and adaptations, underscores the necessity for this research. This extensive review delineates the multitude of target lesions reachable through the transorbital route, categorizing them based on surgical complexity. Furthermore, it provides an overview of the different transorbital variations, both standalone and in conjunction with other techniques. By offering a comprehensive understanding, this study aims to enhance awareness and knowledge regarding the current utility of the transorbital approach in neurosurgery. Additionally, it aims to steer future investigations toward deeper exploration, refinement, and exploration of additional perspectives concerning this surgical method.
