An Insidious Source of Chronic Sinusitis and Recurrent Epistaxis: A Rare Case of Skull Base Glomangiopericytoma.
Article in Cureus, 2025. 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
Glomangiopericytoma (GLC) is a rare malignant tumor of the sinonasal cavity that can lead to a variety of non-specific symptoms and consequently cause inaccurate diagnosis and delayed management. This can ultimately cause irreversible damage to the quality of life and result in a poor prognosis. We present the case of a 55-year-old male patient who suffered from the symptoms of chronic rhinosinusitis, anosmia, and multiple episodes of epistaxis with an endoscopic finding of a right-sided polyp-like mass within the sinonasal cavity. Further imaging studies revealed a mass originating from the skull base and a right-sided sphenoid sinus mucocele. Endoscopic endonasal resection and histopathological analysis confirmed a rare skull base GLC. The objective of this case report is to emphasize the diagnostic challenge of GLC due to its rare occurrence and bring awareness to its insidious and malignant nature that hides behind long-term sinonasal symptoms, mimicking chronic rhinosinusitis.
