Pott's Puffy Tumor: A Case Report of a Rare Complication of Frontal Sinusitis.
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
Among complications of frontal sinusitis, Pott's puffy tumor (PPT) is one of the rare complications, which is characterized by the occurrence of subperiosteal abscess and osteomyelitis of the frontal bone. Primarily, infection or trauma is the causative agent and is often seen in late childhood and adolescence. If left untreated for a longer period of time, further intracranial complications such as subdural empyema, epidural abscess, cerebral abscess, and meningitis may occur. We report a case of a 13-year-old male who presented with a history of a fall 15 days ago, and the clinical query was to rule out a fracture and subdural hematoma. The primary diagnosis was made based on clinical and radiological findings, highlighting the significance of maintaining a high index of suspicion of this rare condition and the value of CT imaging in the timely diagnosis and management.
