Combining Brachytherapy and Cryotherapy as Adjuvant Therapy for Squamous Cell Carcinoma of the Conjunctiva: Literature Review and Case Reports.
Review in Ocular oncology and pathology, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 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
backgroundSeparately, cryotherapy and brachytherapy have shown promising results when adjuvating the excision of squamous cell carcinoma of the conjunctiva (SCCC). The aim of this paper is to assess the combined effect in terms of complications and recurrence rate. SUMMARY: We describe 2 patients suffering from SCCC, and we review the current literature on adjuvant cryotherapy and brachytherapy. Both patients, one of whom suffered from recurrent SCCC, underwent surgical excision followed by combined cryotherapy and brachytherapy. Cryotherapy was performed using a retinal cryoprobe, and 2 rounds each of 5 s with N KEY MESSAGES: By reviewing the current literature and describing 2 case reports, this paper illustrates the use of combined cryotherapy and brachytherapy after surgical excision of SCCC. The current literature presents promising results of each treatment, and the 2 cases showed promising results by combining the 2 adjuvant therapies showing no signs of recurrence or complications during a follow-up period of 26 and 38 months.
