A rare case of bilateral conjunctival Kaposi's sarcoma in a HIV-negative patient.

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
purposeKaposi's sarcoma (KS) is a rare multi-centric vascular neoplasm, first described by Moritz Kaposi in 1872. It can appear in four different forms: classic, endemic, HIV-related and post-transplant form. We present an uncommon case of seronegative HIV infection patient with skin KS involving conjunctiva of both eyes. OBSERVATIONS: Firstly, right eye lesions were surgically removed. Subsequently, the patient was administered with systemic chemotherapy (doxorubicin) to treat both skin and left eye lesions. No signs of recurrence were observed at 20 months' follow-up.
conclusionsBoth eyes involvement in KS is rarely described in scientific literature. Both surgery and chemotherapy could be considered valid treatment options for conjunctival KS.
