1 · What the graph read from 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.

2 · The registry

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

Rationale: Intraorbital osteomas are incidentally found and occasionally require surgical treatment. Depending on their localisation, a single technique may not provide a sufficient surgical field. Patient Concerns: We report a 16-year-old male with a left upper medial palpable mass. Diagnosis: Computed tomography revealed a dense bony mass extending from the ethmoid sinus to the superior wall of the frontal sinus, with protrusion into the orbital cavity. Treatment: The combination of upper fornix transconjunctival and endoscopic transnasal approaches was chosen for the surgical removal procedure. Outcomes: The two-pathway approaches resulted in the clear removal of the mass. Post-operative recovery was rapid, although a slight restriction of the inferomedial duction remained at three months. Take-away Lessons: This combination of techniques can provide a wide surgical field for the resection of frontoethmoidal osteomas with orbital extension.
