Frontal Sinus Adenocarcinoma: A Rare Case of Diagnostic Re-evaluation From Inverted Papilloma.
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
Adenocarcinoma of the frontal sinus is extremely rare. We present a primary frontal sinus adenocarcinoma masquerading as an inverted papilloma (IP). Here, we reviewed various clinical presentations, investigations, and management of frontal sinus adenocarcinoma. A 48-year-old male presented with nasal bridge swelling one month following endoscopic sinus surgery for frontal sinus inverted papilloma. Progressively enlarging swelling with persistent pressure symptoms drew doubts regarding previously proven diagnosis. Imaging studies put us at the management crossroads of malignancy versus infection (osteomyelitis). The complexity of this case prompted a multidisciplinary team approach, eventually leading to a revision surgery for re-evaluation. Re-excision of the frontal sinus tumor was later proven to be adenocarcinoma of the frontal sinus. This case underscores the importance of thorough follow-up and investigation in patients presenting with recurrent or persistent symptoms following sinus surgery. This case highlighted the need for a high index of suspicion and comprehensive diagnostic workup.
