Nodular fasciitis of the sphenoid sinus presenting with a visual field defect: A case report.
Article in Surgical neurology international, 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
Background: Nodular fasciitis (NF) is a self-limiting mesenchymal neoplasm. Although it can occur in various parts of the body, its presence within the sphenoid sinus is extremely rare in adults. To the best of our knowledge, only one other case has been reported in the English literature. Because of its rapid growth and potential to mimic malignant tumors, accurate diagnosis and timely treatment are essential. Case Description: We report a case of a 58-year-old man who presented with visual disturbance in the right eye. Computed tomography and magnetic resonance imaging revealed a mass lesion in the sphenoid sinus, with erosion of the bony wall of the right optic nerve canal. The mass was completely removed through an endoscopic transnasal transsphenoidal approach, both for histopathological diagnosis and optic nerve decompression. Pathological examination confirmed the diagnosis of NF. Postoperatively, the patient's visual field improved significantly. Conclusion: This case highlights NF as a rare but important differential diagnosis in patients presenting with visual impairment due to a mass in the paranasal sinus. In symptomatic cases, early surgical intervention should be considered to prevent symptom progression and ensure an accurate diagnosis.
