Sebaceoma of a Meibomian Gland of the Upper Eyelid.

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
Over a period of 1 year, a 74-year-old man slowly developed a painless left upper eyelid intratarsal mass. The skin was movable over the lesion. At surgery, a well-circumscribed, yellow-white, partially cystic tumor was encountered. Histopathologically it was composed of a random mixture of basaloid and sebaceous cells arranged in interconnecting cords. Immunohistochemical evaluation disclosed epithelial membrane antigen, adipophilin, and cytokeratin 14 positivity. These findings led to the diagnosis of a sebaceoma. The tumor cells abnormally failed to express mismatch repair proteins for MLH1 and PMS2. The patient did not have a personal history of any visceral malignancy, but his father had died at the age of 46 years and a daughter at the age of 33 years from colonic carcinomas. The implications of this periocular sebaceoma for the Muir-Torre syndrome are explored.
