Conjunctival amyloidosis -- clinical and histopathologic features.
Article in Graefe's archive for clinical and experimental ophthalmology = Albrecht von Graefes Archiv fur klinische und experimentelle Ophthalmologie, 2015. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 11 papers.
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
purposeConjunctival amyloidosis is a rare disorder. It is often clinically not suspected or diagnosed. This study intended to demonstrate the clinical and histopathologic features of this infrequent disease, including an immunohistochemical search for amyloidotic proteins.
methodsRetrospective case series of the clinical and histopathologic characteristics of six patients with conjunctival amyloidosis. Immunohistochemical analysis with respect to possible amyloidotic components of the conjunctival deposits was performed.
resultsThe diagnosis of amyloidosis was not suspected in all six cases presenting with an amelanotic conjunctival lesion. In three patients a conjunctival tumor of unknown origin, in one case each a papillomatous alteration of the conjunctiva, a conjunctival granulomatous inflammation, and a lymphoma were assumed respectively. The diagnosis of amyloidosis was made by histopathology. Immunohistochemical examination found lambda and kappa light chains as well as prealbumin within the amyloid deposits in one of the six specimens.
conclusionsThe diagnosis of amyloidosis has to be kept in mind in cases with an unclear conjunctival mass or inflammatory process. Only a tissue biopsy is able to prove the diagnosis. A possible underlying systemic disease has to be ruled out.
