Primary Isolated Lacrimal Gland Amyloidosis: A Case Report and Review of the Literature.
Article in Cureus, 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
We report a case of a 42-year-old woman who presented with a one-year history of a painless right orbital mass and right upper lid ptosis. Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) revealed a superotemporal right orbital mass involving the lacrimal gland, and subsequent tissue biopsy and histopathologic evaluation was consistent with amyloidosis. An otherwise negative workup by hematology/oncology confirmed a diagnosis of primary isolated lacrimal gland amyloidosis. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first documented case of isolated lacrimal gland amyloidosis without immunoglobulin (Ig) light chain restriction on in situ hybridization testing with a report of MRI findings. In addition, this is the second reported case of the disease without Ig light chain restriction on immunohistochemistry staining, and it is the third case with reported MRI results.
