Pitfalls in diagnosing orbital malignancy through orbital incisional biopsy: A report of two cases with different scenarios.
Article in Saudi journal of ophthalmology : official journal of the Saudi Ophthalmological Society. 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
Several methods have been implemented to obtain suitable samples from patients for the purpose of histopathological examination and definitive diagnosis. This has been of paramount importance in dealing with oncology cases including orbital neoplasms. Open surgical biopsy has been the common standard technique used in our eye centers in Saudi Arabia for diagnosing various orbital lesions. Other modalities such as fine-needle aspiration biopsy, core biopsy, and imaging-guided core biopsy are not popular. We report two cases where open surgical biopsies may have not been optimal in reaching the desired tissue diagnosis of orbital malignancy on time, thus resulting in delaying further management of the two patients.
