A Schwannoma in the Anterior Orbit: Case Report and Literature Review.

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
Introduction: Orbital schwannoma is a rare tumor that can occur in any orbital compartment, posing a diagnostic challenge for clinicians. Case Presentation: We report a 35-year-old male who presented with a visible schwannoma in the inferomedial orbital angle. Our patient was treated with en bloc transconjunctival surgical resection without complications. Discussion: Only 35 cases of anterior orbital schwannomas have been reported in the literature. The majority of these masses were superior or superomedial. The nerve of origin was able to be identified in 42.9% of cases only, and the schwannoma arose from the frontal nerve or its branches in about half of these cases. Surgery was the standard of care, although in a few cases small masses were just observed. None of the reported cases has neurofibromatosis. This case highlights the importance of considering schwannoma in the differential diagnosis of anterior orbital masses in any of its anatomical compartments.
