Refractory Orbital Spindle Cell Carcinoma With Rapid Progression and Intracranial Extension.
Article in Case reports in ophthalmological medicine, 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
Spindle cell carcinoma, also known as carcinosarcoma or sarcomatoid carcinoma, is a rare and aggressive variant of squamous cell carcinoma known by biphasic malignant histology with epithelial and mesenchymal differentiation. We report the case of a 72-year-old male presenting with progressive unilateral proptosis, upper eyelid swelling, and restricted ocular motility. Imaging showed a well-defined mass infiltrating multiple orbital structures, histopathologically supporting orbital spindle cell carcinoma after ruling out other mimics. After surgical debulking, followed by chemotherapy and radiotherapy, the tumor showed aggressive invasion with local infiltration, bone destruction, and intracranial extension, which ultimately led to the patient's death. This case underscores detection and management challenges in the primary orbital spindle cell carcinoma. This tumor's aggressiveness and resistance to traditional treatment approaches reveal the need for further investigation into its etiology and better management techniques.
