Magnetic Resonance Imaging of Paediatric Orbital Tumors With Pathological Correlation.
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
introductionPaediatric orbital tumours include a broad spectrum of benign and malignant lesions that range from developmental anomalies to primary and metastatic orbital malignancies. Sometimes, clinical signs and symptoms are not enough to differentiate between orbital lesions; hence, MRI plays a crucial role in cases where clinical and historical findings are inconclusive. AIMS AND
objectivesThe aim of the study is to evaluate the different orbital tumours in paediatric patients by magnetic resonance imaging and their pathological correlation. MATERIALS AND
methodsWe conducted a prospective observation study of 64 paediatric patients (38 males and 26 females), with an age range of one month to 15 years and a mean of 4.6 years, who underwent orbital MRI for suspected tumors at Indira Gandhi Institute of Medical Science, Patna, a tertiary care center, over a period of one year.
resultsOf 64 patients (mean age 4.6 years), 38 (59.3%) were boys and 26 (40.7%) were girls. The most common presentation in our study is leukocoria (white pupillary reflex), and out of 64 cases, 37 (57.8%) were found malignant and 27 (42.2%) were benign lesions. The most common diagnosis was retinoblastoma (32 cases, 50%). Common benign tumours include dermoid cyst, capillary hemangioma, epidermal inclusion cyst and lipodermoid cyst.
conclusionAs symptoms are not well appreciated in paediatric orbital tumours, for early diagnosis and staging, excellent imaging (MRI ) and histopathological examination are necessary in order for timely detection and to prevent advanced stage at presentation.
