Congenital Microphthalmia with Orbital Cyst: A Case Series.
Article in JNMA; journal of the Nepal Medical Association. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 5 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
Microphthalmos results from incomplete invagination of the optic vesicle or closure of the embryonic fissure. We present three patients with unilateral congenital microphthalmia with cyst. None of them had vision in the affected eye since birth. There was gradually increasing left eye orbital mass encroaching towards lower fornix and lower eyelid ectropion. On examination and investigations, patients had large orbital cyst with microphthalmia pushing the eyeball superiorly and posteriorly in affected orbit. Microphthalmic globe with cyst was surgically excised and histopathologically studied. Orbital cavity was big enough to occupy the conformer and the prosthetic eye after 6 weeks. Diagnosis was confirmed as large communicating orbital cyst with microphthalmia without systemic association in all the patients. None of the mothers of patients had regular antenatal check up. All the parents had consanguineous marriage. Antenatal check up with ultrasound at 14 to16 weeks of pregnancy is important for genetic counselling. Targeted abdominal ultrasound examination of pregnant women focused on the orbital region of foetus is recommended, in mothers who have children with congenital eye anomalies. Keywords: congenital anomaly; cyst; eye; microphthalmos.
