Fungal mucopyocele of the sphenoid sinus revealed by oculomotor and abducens nerve palsy: a case report.
Article in Journal of surgical 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
Mucoceles of the sphenoid sinus are very rare accounting for 1% of all paranasal sinus mucoceles. Clinical symptoms are non-specific, extremely variable, and only occur when the mucocele impinges on surrounding structures. Secondary infection of a mucocele content is called mucopyocele and often result in rapid enlargement and acute onset of symptoms. The sphenoid sinus is closely related to important and vital structures accounting for the broad spectrum of clinical presentations. In this report we describe the case of a fungal mucopyocele of the sphenoid sinus, revealed by oculomotor and abducens nerve palsy, managed via endoscopic sphenoidotomy with complete postoperative resolution of ocular symptoms. Few reports in the recent literature have described a similar condition with insights on clinical aspects, surgical implications and functional outcomes.
