Orbital Extension of Sinonasal Mucocele Presenting as Proptosis: A Report of Two Cases.
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
Sinonasal mucoceles are benign cystic lesions caused by obstruction of sinus drainage; however, they may progressively expand and erode surrounding bone, leading to orbital complications. We report two cases of sinonasal mucoceles with orbital extension presenting as proptosis. The first case involved a 34-year-old man presenting with acute proptosis, diplopia, and decreased visual acuity, with imaging revealing a frontoethmoidal lesion extending into the orbit. The second case involved a 43-year-old woman with progressive proptosis without visual impairment, also related to a frontoethmoidal mucocele. Management differed between the two cases, with spontaneous regression in the first and surgical treatment in the second, both resulting in favorable outcomes. These cases illustrate the variable clinical presentation of sinonasal mucoceles and highlight the importance of imaging in diagnosis and management. Early recognition and appropriate treatment are essential to prevent visual complications.
