Vascular Control-Focused Surgical Strategy for Pterygopalatine and Infratemporal Fossa Tumors Using Multimodal Image Fusion Reconstruction.
Article in World journal of otorhinolaryngology - head and neck surgery, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
Objective: To classify tumor-internal maxillary artery (IMA) spatial relationships in pterygopalatine and infratemporal fossa (PPF/ITF) tumors, develop a 3D fusion-guided vascular control-focused surgical strategy, and evaluate its clinical impact. Methods: Seventeen patients were prospectively enrolled in the 3D fusion-guided vascular control-focused strategy (VCFS) group, while 41 patients were retrospectively enrolled in the conventional strategy group. Multimodal imaging data were used to generate patient-specific 3D models to classify tumor-IMA spatial relationships and guide surgical planning under the VCFS framework. Surgical outcomes were compared using stabilized inverse probability of treatment weighting (sIPTW). Results: Compared to the conventional strategy, the VCFS significantly reduced blood loss (200 vs. 800 mL; Conclusions: Multimodal imaging-based classification of tumor-IMA relationships and application of the VCFS were associated with improved short-term surgical outcomes in patients with PPF/ITF tumors.
