1 · What the graph read from it

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.

2 · The registry

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

purposeTo evaluate conjunctival epithelial neoplastic lesions in a 7-year period. MATERIALS AND

methodsThe data of all primary cases of conjunctival neoplasia diagnosed in the Pathology Department of Farabi Eye Hospital were analyzed.

resultsThe patient group consisted of 179 (65.3%) males and 95 (34.6%) females, with an age range of 14-90 years and a mean age of 57.9 years. The most common primary conjunctival epithelial neoplastic lesion was invasive squamous cell carcinoma (SCC) (40.8%), followed by dysplasia (17%), papilloma (16.4%), In situ SCC (16%), actinic keratosis (7.3%), basal cell carcinoma (0.7%), xeroderma pigmentosum (0.7%), and mucoepidermoid carcinoma (0.3%). Of 274 lesions, 47 (17.1%) were benign, 159 (58%) were malignant, and 68 (24.8%) were precancerous. Compared to the results of a previous study of this center (1990-2004), the incidence of precancerous lesions has slightly increased whereas the incidence of SCC has decreased (22.1% vs. 24.8% and 59% vs. 40.8%, respectively).

conclusionSCC is the most common conjunctival epithelial neoplasm in this study, and its prevalence in males is nearly two times higher than in females. The high percentage of squamous cell carcinoma can likely be attributed to elevated sun exposure and ultraviolet light in Iran.
