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

BACKGROUND Conjunctival squamous cell carcinoma is the most common non-pigmented malignancy of the ocular surface. This report illustrates the clinical management of squamous cell carcinoma of the conjunctiva. CASE REPORT A 33-year-old female was referred to our eye hospital with a tumorous lesion on the nasal bulbar conjunctiva of the right eye. A topical therapy with antibiotic and corticosteroid eye drops did not change the lesion. The conjunctival tumor was widely resected. The histopathological diagnosis suggested a squamous cell carcinoma. After resection, a treatment with topical mitomycin C (MMC) 0.02% eye drops were started 4 times daily for 14 days. Two cycles of treatment were done with a 2-week interval during which only artificial tears eye drops were administered. At the 12-month follow-up, there was no sign of recurrence. CONCLUSIONS This case illustrates the effective and successful clinical management of squamous cell carcinoma of the conjunctiva with excision and postoperative treatment with MMC 0.02% eye drops.
