Management of double-head pterygium with conjunctival autograft and primary closure.

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
purposeDouble-headed pterygia are rare and present the surgeon with challenges. This case report illustrates the surgical management and the course of healing in a double-head pterygium patient. CASE REPORT: A 53-year-old man was referred to our eye hospital with a double-head pterygium of the right eye. During the follow-up examinations, 1 and 3 years later stable findings were found. Five years after initial referral we saw a progression of the double-head pterygium and the patient explained a worse visual acuity. The nasal and temporal pterygium was resected and conjunctival autograft transplantation, and a primary closure was performed, respectively, for the bulbar conjunctival reconstruction. After the surgery, a reduction in the inflammation and healing of the conjunctival lesion could be seen. At the 12-month follow-up, there was no sign of recurrence or any postoperative complication.
conclusionA surgical excision combined with conjunctival autograft transplantation and primary closure in a one-time intervention seems to be effective and economical for the treatment of double-head pterygium.
