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

purposeSinonasal osteoblastoma is a rare benign tumor that can involve critical structures like the skull base and orbit. This study presents a case series and literature review to describe clinical features, surgical management, and outcomes.

methodsFive patients with sinonasal osteoblastoma were treated endoscopically between 2020 and 2025. Clinical data, imaging, surgical approach, histopathology, and follow-up outcomes were reviewed. A PubMed search was conducted to identify previously reported cases.

resultsPatients ranged from 12 to 57 years old. Tumors most commonly involved the ethmoid sinus and presented with nasal obstruction, headache, or epistaxis. Four underwent total endoscopic resection; one had subtotal removal due to frontal sinus involvement. Histopathology revealed three conventional and two aggressive osteoblastomas. No recurrences or major complications occurred over a follow-up of two to five years.

conclusionEndoscopic resection appears to be a safe and effective approach for sinonasal osteoblastomas, even in cases with skull base or orbital extension. This series supports the growing role of minimally invasive surgery in managing these uncommon tumors.
