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

The relationship between the ophthalmologist and ophthalmic pathologist is particularly important in orbital disease, as diagnosis is heavily dependent on correlation with clinical context. If the patient has previously had treatment to the orbit or an adjacent area, whether for the same or a different condition, tissue changes may occur which affect the histological appearance of any specimen taken. This article is an overview of therapeutic interventions which may cause either orbital pathology or an altered appearance of the tissue, either of which can pose a diagnostic challenge. The problem of artefact is also addressed as another factor which may alter the appearance of a specimen. It is hoped that the information provided in this brief review will help clinicians better evaluate what information may be relevant when submitting a specimen.
