Diagnostic and Therapeutic Approach to External Frontal Lesions: A Report of Two Cases.
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
Benign frontal masses represent a diagnostic and therapeutic challenge due to their aesthetic impact and the wide range of possible differential diagnoses. We present a comparative case series of two patients with benign frontal masses: a frontal lipoma and a frontal osteoma. Both cases highlight the importance of careful clinical evaluation, appropriate use of imaging studies, and tailored surgical planning to achieve optimal functional and aesthetic outcomes. Frontal osteomas are benign, slow-growing bone tumors arising from the cranial vault and represent the most common benign tumors of the skull. Although often asymptomatic, their frontal location frequently leads to aesthetic deformity and patient concern, prompting surgical evaluation. Lipomas are the most common benign soft-tissue tumors, but their presentation in the frontal region is relatively rare. Because of their location, they are often confused with other lesions, such as osteomas or epidermoid cysts.
