[Clinico-echographic diagnostics of iris tumors].
Review in Der Ophthalmologe : Zeitschrift der Deutschen Ophthalmologischen Gesellschaft, 2019. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 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
backgroundThe differentiation of iridic space-occupying lesions represents a regularly reoccurring diagnostic challenge.
objectiveThis article presents an overview of the epidemiological data and describes the diagnostic procedure for iris tumors. MATERIAL AND
methodsThe article provides a review of the literature from PubMed and own clinical results.
resultsMelanocytic lesions comprise the vast majority of all iris tumors and include nevi and melanomas. Slit lamp biomicroscopy with standardized photography reveals two-dimensional planar tumor growth over time, which is the only recognized clinical surrogate finding for a malignant event. Ultrasound biomicroscopy (UBM) is additionally obligatory because it is the only method which enables documentation of the extent of tumor penetration, ciliary body involvement and internal structure of iris tumors.
conclusionSerial slit lamp and UBM examinations with reproducible pupillary diameters are indispensable for the differentiation of cystic, solid and tumor-simulating lesions and for the detection of malignant transformation in iris tumors.
