1 · What the graph read from it

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.

2 · The registry

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

Background: Optimal surgical management of orbital tumors requires precise selection of the surgical approach to achieve complete tumor removal while preserving visual function and maintaining cosmetic outcomes. Objective: This study aimed to evaluate and compare the clinical outcomes of different orbitotomy approaches-including lateral, inferior, supraorbital, and endoscopic endonasal techniques-in the surgical management of orbital tumors. Methods: A retrospective single-center study was conducted on 68 patients (36 men and 32 women; mean age: 42.1 ± 14.3 years) who underwent surgical treatment for orbital tumors between 2018 and 2024. Preoperative evaluation included comprehensive ophthalmologic examination, CT and MRI imaging, and histopathological confirmation. The choice of surgical approach was guided by tumor location: lateral orbitotomy ( Results: Visual acuity and ocular motility were preserved in 65 of 68 patients (95.6%). Mean postoperative orbital volume at six months was 26.31 ± 1.28 mL on the operated side and 25.71 ± 1.82 mL on the contralateral side, with no significant difference ( Conclusion: Selection of orbitotomy approach based on tumor localization allows safe and effective surgical management of orbital tumors. Both traditional and minimally invasive approaches can provide favorable functional and cosmetic outcomes when applied according to anatomical indications.
