Ocular and Periocular Tumors in India: An EyeSmart Electronic Medical Record Analysis of 9633 Cases from a Referral Center.
Article in Middle East African journal of ophthalmology. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 14 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
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
purposeTo describe the epidemiology of ocular and periocular tumors in patients presenting to a multi-tier ophthalmology hospital network in India using the electronic medical records (EMRs) system.
methodsA retrospective, observational, referral, hospital-based study of 1,142,098 patients. The data were collected using the in-house developed EyeSmart EMR system.
resultsDuring a 6-year study period, 9633 (0.8%) new patients were diagnosed with eye tumors. Of the 9633 patients, 5209 (54%) were male and 4424 (46%) were female. Of all tumors, 6372 (65%) were benign, 282 (3%) were pre-malignant, and 3089 (32%) were malignant in nature, respectively. Overall, the three most common tumors included retinoblastoma (
conclusionsThe present study results indicate the incidence and distribution of ocular and periocular tumors in a large cohort in India. Retinoblastoma is the most common tumor encountered in a referral-based comprehensive ophthalmic oncology practice in India. The use of EMRs enables to capture the structured information and big data analysis of the same.
