A Rare Dual Pathology in Refractory Chronic Rhinosinusitis: Maxillary Ectopic Tooth With Fungal Ball.

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
Ectopic teeth in the maxillary sinus are an uncommon finding, and when symptomatic, often present as chronic rhinosinusitis. However, concurrent presentation with a fungal ball is exceptionally rare and scarcely documented in the literature. We report a unique case of a 39-year-old woman with recurrent maxillary sinusitis, ultimately diagnosed with coexisting ectopic tooth and fungal ball in the left maxillary sinus. The patient underwent successful endoscopic sinus surgery for simultaneous removal of both lesions. Postoperatively, she experienced complete resolution of symptoms without complications. This case highlights the diagnostic importance of imaging in refractory rhinosinusitis and demonstrates that endoscopic management is an effective and minimally invasive approach for this rare dual pathology.
