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

A 12-year-old girl was referred to our clinic because of unilateral conjunctivitis not responding to treatment. In the left eye, lower bulbar and tarsal conjunctiva had a polypoidal appearance due to micronodules and there was a subconjunctival nodular mass in the inferior fornix. Systemic examination was unremarkable except for a left preauricular lymphadenopathy. Excision biopsy of the subconjunctival mass revealed a granulomatous inflammation with caseation necrosis, but acid-fast bacilli (AFB) was negative. Fine needle-aspiration biopsy of the preauricular lymph node was performed. In microbiological examination, both AFB and mycobacterial culture were positive. The isolated mycobacteria strains were identified as
