Outcomes of orbital-cavernous sinus schwannomas via pterional approach combined with orbital osteotomy: a retrospective study of 32 cases.
Article in Neurosurgical review, 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
objectiveSurgical outcomes for the orbital-cavernous sinus schwannomas are limited. Therefore, the current study aims to present and evaluated surgical strategies and clinical outcomes in orbital-cavernous sinus schwannomas in our center.
methodsA retrospective analysis was conducted in patients with orbital-cavernous sinus schwannomas who underwent surgery via the pterional approach combined with orbital osteotomy at our center between January 2016 and December 2024. Clinical data, extent of resection, postoperative neurological function and surgical complications were evaluated.
resultsA total of 32 patients were included in the current study. Gross total resection was achieved in 28 cases (87.50%) and subtotal resection was achieved in 4 cases (12.50%). After surgery, visual acuity was improved in 6 patients (18.75%), remained unchanged in 24 patients (75.00%), and worsened in 2 patients (6.25%). Proptosis improved in 32 patients (100%). Ptosis occurred in 11 patients, with 9 patients fully recovered during the follow-up and the remaining 2 patients experienced partial recovery. 2 patients experienced impaired ocular abduction, and were recovered within 3 months post-surgery.
conclusionSurgical intervention plays an important role in the treatment of orbital-cavernous sinus schwannomas. The pterional approach combined with orbital osteotomy achieved high resection rate, symptom relief, and a low incidence of complications.
