Rare Ocular Involvement in a Newly Diagnosed AIDS Patient With Diffuse Kaposi's Sarcoma.
Article in Cureus, 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 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
Kaposi's sarcoma (KS) is a cancer that often affects individuals with human immunodeficiency virus, acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (AIDS), those who have received an organ transplant, or others who are immunocompromised. KS is a vascular tumor that most often presents in cutaneous sites, including the lower extremities, oral mucosa, and genitalia. Literature regarding KS with ocular involvement is scarce. We present a rare case in which a patient diagnosed with AIDS-associated KS exhibited ocular and diffuse manifestations. The lesions of cutaneous KS are frequently mistaken for an alternative diagnoses; therefore, the clinician should have a high index of suspicion for this vascular tumor in AIDS patients.
