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

backgroundMedulloepithelioma is a rare congenital neoplasm derived from precursors of the nonpigmented ciliary epithelium of the ciliary body. The average patient age at clinical presentation is 3.8 years. CASE PRESENTATION: We present the case of a 78-year-old male with progressive lens subluxation and ocular hypertension who was found to have a ciliary body mass. After enucleation for presumed ciliary body melanoma, histopathology showed a nonteratoid medulloepithelioma. Cytogenetic analysis revealed abnormalities in chromosomes 3 and 8.

conclusionMedulloepithelioma is often initially misdiagnosed. Though congenital in nature, it can exhibit rapid growth, have chromosomal abnormalities, and must be considered in all age groups.
