Comprehensive interdisciplinary treatment of an orbital lymphatic-venous malformation: a case report.
Article in Innovative surgical sciences, 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
Objectives: Orbital lymphatic-venous malformations (LVMs) are rare congenital anomalies that can cause significant functional and aesthetic impairments. Case presentation: This case report details the comprehensive treatment of a 47-year-old male with a longstanding orbital combined slow-flow vascular malformation. Diagnostic evaluation included magnetic resonance imaging and a sonographically guided core needle biopsy, which confirmed a benign lymphatic-venous malformation. The treatment started with minimally invasive sclerotherapy to reduce lesion size, followed by surgical debulking to alleviate proptosis and mechanical restrictions. Finally, reconstructive surgery addressed residual eyelid deformities, including ectropion and ptosis. Post-treatment outcomes demonstrated stable visual function, improved eyelid position, and a significant enhancement in the patient's aesthetic appearance and quality of life. Conclusions: The staged, multimodal approach underscores the importance of individualized treatment planning and interdisciplinary collaboration. This case highlights the potential for excellent functional and aesthetic outcomes in the management of complex orbital LVMs when nonsurgical and surgical techniques are strategically combined.
