Intracranial Complications Following Acute Rhinosinusitis in a Pediatric Patient Requiring Surgery: A Case Report.
Article in Cureus, 2026. 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
Intracranial complications secondary to acute sinusitis in pediatric patients are rare but potentially life-threatening. Initially, the symptoms are nonspecific, which can result in a delayed diagnosis. If a patient presents with persistent fever and severe headache, an intracranial complication should be suspected and promptly investigated using imaging techniques such as contrast-enhanced computed tomography (CT) and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). Here, we describe a case in which both a frontal epidural abscess and an interhemispheric subdural empyema developed following acute rhinosinusitis. The patient was a seven-year-old girl experiencing a persistent headache and fever for 10 days. Despite treatment with intravenous antibiotics, the symptoms did not improve. Blood cultures revealed
