Congenital orbital teratoma presenting as progressive proptosis in an infant: a case report and review of literature.
Review in Child's nervous system : ChNS : official journal of the International Society for Pediatric Neurosurgery, 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
Congenital orbital teratomas are extremely rare germ cell tumors composed of tissues derived from all three embryonic germ layers (1-6). They typically present at birth or early infancy with rapidly progressive unilateral proptosis and can result in severe visual morbidity. We report a case of a 14-month-old male child presenting with progressive axial non-pulsatile proptosis of the right eye since birth. Neuroimaging revealed a large mixed solid-cystic retro-orbital lesion compressing the optic nerve. The child underwent right fronto-orbital craniotomy with gross total excision of the lesion. Histopathological examination confirmed a mature orbital teratoma. Postoperative recovery was uneventful. This case highlights the diagnostic challenges of congenital orbital teratomas, emphasizes the role of early surgical intervention, and reviews current literature regarding clinical presentation, imaging characteristics, histopathology, and management strategies.
