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

We report a large subconjunctival-orbital granuloma in a 51-year-old male presenting with a blind painful right eye and marked chemosis 15 months after undergoing vitrectomy and silicone oil retinal tamponade for retinal detachment with no reported intraoperative complications. Gross and histopathologic examination of the enucleated eye and episcleral tumor revealed a bosselated mass measuring 17 × 10 × 5 mm containing prominent vacuoles with surrounding epithelioid histiocytes and foreign body multinucleated giant cells. Such a large silicone-induced orbital granuloma following uncomplicated retinal surgery in a grossly intact eye has not been previously reported to the authors' knowledge. High intraocular pressure and emulsification of oil may facilitate silicone extravasation through scleral wounds after retinal surgery.
