A large intraorbital arachnoid cyst with preserved visual acuity in a 3-year-old female: a case report and review of the literature.
Review in Journal of medical case reports, 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
backgroundArachnoid cysts (ACs) are the most common brain cysts, comprising 1% of intracranial lesions, with a higher prevalence in children (2.6%) than adults (0.3%-1.7%). Intraorbital ACs are extremely rare, with only a few cases reported to date, especially in children. While most ACs do not exhibit any symptoms, some cases of symptomatic ACs require surgical intervention to prevent brain damage. This article presents a unique case of a large intraorbital AC with preserved visual acuity in a 3-year-old female with a concise literature review of all intraorbital AC cases reported to date. CASE PRESENTATION: A 3-year-old Syrian female with a history of congenital ptosis presented with unilateral proptosis and eye pain in her left eye. She had normal visual acuity of 20/20 and a normal optic disc upon ophthalmic examination. Subsequent computed tomography (CT) and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) identified a large Intraorbital AC, which was subsequently managed through surgical intervention, leading to complete improvement of proptosis. Follow-up imaging of the patient indicated no recurrence (refer to Graphical Abstract).
conclusionThis article underscores the importance of considering surgery in cases of large symptomatic intraorbital ACs even if no signs of visual impairment are present, and highlights the need to recognize intraorbital AC as a rare but a potential cause of proptosis, while emphasizing the role of multimodal imaging in ruling out other possible differential diagnoses.
