Endoscopic transorbital approach for repair of spontaneous CSF leak and frontal sinus encephalocele.
Article in Neurosurgical focus: Video, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 papers.
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
CSF leaks due to anterior skull base defects, particularly those involving the posterior wall of the frontal sinus, are complex and often require surgical intervention. The endoscopic transorbital approach provides a direct, minimally invasive method with enhanced access and improved working angles. The authors present a video of a 41-year-old female with a spontaneous CSF leak and frontal sinus encephalocele who underwent endoscopic transorbital repair. This approach effectively controlled the defect, resulting in the resolution of the CSF leak with no recurrence at 1-year follow-up. The endoscopic transorbital approach is a reliable surgical option for these challenging cases. The video can be found here: https://stream.cadmore.media/r10.3171/2025.1.FOCVID24153.
