Dermoid Cyst of the Superolateral Preseptal Orbit in a Child: Ultrasound, MRI, and Histopathological Correlation.
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
Orbital dermoid cysts are benign congenital lesions that commonly arise along embryonic suture lines, particularly in the superolateral orbit. We report a case of a four-year-old boy presenting with a painless, progressively enlarging right superolateral orbital mass. Ultrasonography demonstrated a well-defined cystic lesion with heterogeneous hypoechoic content and fine internal echogenic foci, producing the characteristic "sack of marbles" appearance, with no significant internal vascularity on color Doppler imaging. Magnetic resonance imaging revealed a well-circumscribed superolateral preseptal orbital lesion with high signal intensity on T2-weighted and fluid-attenuated inversion recovery (FLAIR) images, diffusion restriction, and no appreciable internal post-contrast enhancement. The lesion was surgically excised, and histopathological examination confirmed the diagnosis of dermoid cyst. This case highlights the complementary roles of ultrasonography and magnetic resonance imaging in the diagnosis, anatomical localization, and pre-operative assessment of pediatric orbital dermoid cysts.
