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
This report details a rare case of a frontal-ethmoid sinus mucocele with concurrent invasion of both anterior cranial fossa and orbital wall, manifesting primarily with ophthalmologic symptoms. A 64-year-old woman presented with right periorbital swelling accompanied with mild pain, photophobia, and epiphora. Endoscopic sinus surgery revealed extensive destruction of the skull base bone. Intraoperative findings included an intact dura mater without cerebrospinal fluid leakage. Histopathology identified a benign mucocele lined by respiratory epithelium. This case represents an exceptional presentation of a sinus mucocele with dual erosion into both anterior cranial fossa and orbital cavity. Endoscopic management achieved complete resolution without intracranial complications. This entity warrants consideration in patients with orbital symptoms and underlying sinus disease.
