Could Radiographs Be More Helpful in the Removal of an Intraorbital Foreign Body Than a Surgical Navigation System? A Neurosurgical Case Report.
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
Intraorbital foreign body (IOFB) is a vision-threatening condition that requires careful management. IOFB can manifest clinically from asymptomatic up to severe inflammation and blindness. Diagnosis and treatment are determined by the nature of the IOFB. The type, location, and complications related to the IOFB are taken into consideration when planning the surgery. Here, we report the case of a male in his 20s who was admitted to our clinic with a computed tomography (CT) scan which verified the presence of an IOFB. The patient underwent surgery and the IOFB was removed. Using a surgical navigation system (SNS), it was difficult to pinpoint the IOFB precisely during surgery. We took radiographs with a C-arm to improve our orientation and locate the IOFB. The patient recovered uneventfully, and no issues were noticed one month following surgery. This case report highlights the selection of treatment methods and demonstrates when radiographs can be more helpful than an SNS in the removal of the IOFB.
