Exploring Potential Orbital Metastatic Pathways in Sinonasal Mucosal Melanoma: A Case Report.

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 following case potentially provides insight into the mechanisms of lymphogenic metastasis in sinonasal cancer. A 63-year-old patient who presented with progressive diplopia and left-sided periocular pain was diagnosed with a cT4bN0M0 mucosal melanoma of the ethmoid sinus. She underwent a combined endonasal and transcranial tumor resection, and an orbital exenteration. Upon histopathological examination, besides the primary tumor, two separate localizations of melanoma surrounded by lymphoid tissues and lymph follicles were identified. The tumor was upstaged to pT4bN1, and the patient received a combination of adjuvant immunotherapy and radiotherapy. At present, the patient displays no evidence of disease. The presence of orbital lymph nodes has previously never been confirmed. These findings indicate the potential involvement of lymphatic drainage through the retrobulbar fat in the regional spread of sinonasal tumors closely associated with the orbit.
