Role of oncogenic viruses in the development ocular surface squamous neoplasia.
Article in International ophthalmology, 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
purposeThe pathogenesis of ocular surface squamous neoplasia is not fully understood. Therefore, we evaluated the role of oncogenic viruses in the pathogenesis of ocular surface squamous neoplasia in Israel.
methodsPatients with ocular surface squamous neoplasia were enrolled in this retrospective study. The specimens were taken during 2004-2015 from two big centers: Emek Medical Center, Afula and the Hadassah Medical Center, Jerusalem. All the specimens (totally 26) were analyzed by immunohistochemistry for evidence of oncogenic viruses that included Human Papilloma virus, Herpes Simplex virus and Cytomegalovirus infection and 14 samples were examined by polymerase chain reaction. In addition, all the samples were examined for Epstein Barr virus infection by immunohistochemistry and Epstein Barr encoding region test.
resultsTwenty-six patients were included with a mean age of 61.81 [Formula: see text] 3.83 years (mean [Formula: see text]. Immunohistochemistry staining and Epstein Barr encoding region test did not detect any of the oncogenic viruses in the 26 samples. Human Papilloma virus-16 and -18, and Herpes Simplex virus were detected by polymerase chain reaction in 14.2%, 7% and 7%, respectively.
conclusionWe conclude from our study that oncogenic viruses may play a role in the pathogenesis of ocular surface squamous neoplasia in Israel.
