Primary hepatic carcinoid tumor metastasizing to eyelid: A case report.
Article in American journal of ophthalmology case reports, 2019. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
purposeWe report a rare case of a metastatic carcinoid tumor to the right lower lid masquerading as a chalazion. OBSERVATIONS: A 78-year-old Hispanic woman who presented with a 3-month history of a non-resolving chalazion on the right lower lid despite aggressive medical treatment. The patient had a history of noninfectious anterior uveitis and primary hepatic carcinoid tumor that was incidentally diagnosed during the initial uveitis work-up. The right lower eyelid lesion was biopsied and histological and immunopathological analysis revealed a well differentiated neuroendocrine tumor consistent with a carcinoid tumor. CONCLUSIONAND IMPORTANCE: Neuroendocrine tumors should be considered as part of the differential diagnosis of focal, vascularized eyelid masses. To the authors best knowledge this is the first reported case of primary hepatic carcinoid tumor with metastasis to the eyelids. We also highlight the importance of pursuing a histopathologic diagnosis, in the setting of a non-resolving or recurrent chalazion.
