Outcomes of endoscopic sinus surgery (ESS) on sino-orbital osteomas: ophthalmic manifestations and visual outcomes from a 12-year multicenter experience and literature review.
Review in BMC ophthalmology, 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
backgroundOsteomas are the most common benign craniofacial bone tumors that may extend into the orbital cavity. While the majority of them remain asymptomatic, orbital involvement can lead to clinically significant ophthalmologic manifestations. Although endoscopic sinus surgery (ESS) has been increasingly utilized, data focusing specifically on ophthalmologic outcomes following ESS in sino-orbital osteomas are limited.
methodsThis 12-year multicenter descriptive cohort evaluated 12 patients with symptomatic sino-orbital osteomas managed with ESS, including advanced approaches such as Draf techniques and orbital transposition when indicated. Demographics, clinical and radiological presentation, tumor characteristics, surgical outcomes and complications during follow-up were collected and reviewed.
resultsThe cohort population (7 men, 5 women; mean age 29.75 years) predominantly presented with proptosis, followed by diplopia, blurred vision and eyelid swelling. They originated most frequently from the frontoethmoidal and frontal sinuses with mean tumor dimensions of 4.2*2.9*1.9 cm. Complete excision was ultimately achieved in all cases either through a single or planned staged ESS. More than 90% of patients experienced resolution or substantial improvement of visual symptoms. No recurrences, cerebrospinal fluid leaks, major postoperative orbital complications or cosmetic deformities were observed.
conclusionOur findings favor the expanding role of endoscopic techniques as an effective and safe minimally invasive approach and offer substantial rates of visual symptom resolution with minimal morbidity in sino-orbital osteomas. Comprehensive ophthalmic evaluation is recommended as part of a multidisciplinary approach to enhance the outcome of suspected cases.
