Congenital orbital teratoma presenting as a fungating keratinized mass in a resource-limited setting: a case report.
Article in BMC ophthalmology, 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
backgroundOrbital tumors present at birth are rare and pose significant diagnostic and management challenges, especially when they exhibit late and aggressive features such as fungation and keratinization. Early identification and intervention are crucial in preventing functional and cosmetic complications. CASE PRESENTATION: We report the case of a 9-month-old female infant who presented with a protruding left eye since birth. On physical examination, a large fungating mass with a keratinized surface occupying the left orbital region was noted. Detailed imaging and histopathological evaluation were performed to determine the nature of the mass. Management strategies and outcomes are discussed.
conclusionThis case highlights the importance of early recognition and multidisciplinary management of congenital orbital masses. Our findings contribute to the limited literature on congenital orbital neoplasms presenting with fungating features, underscoring the necessity for timely diagnosis and intervention.
