1 · What the graph read from 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.

2 · The registry

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

Corneal ocular surface squamous neoplasia usually begins at the limbus and presents as an avascular translucent sheet over the corneal surface. This case report describes a 67-year-old man with an unusual isolated, keratinous nodular corneal lesion. Slit-lamp examination showed an elevated, avascular, whitish plaque-like lesion at the central cornea surrounded by a normal corneal epithelium, with reduced visual acuity of 20/200 in the right eye. Anterior segment optical coherence tomography displayed a hyper-reflective, thickened epithelium with back shadowing. Histopathology showed keratinising hyperplastic stratified squamous epithelium with parakeratosis and moderate nuclear pleomorphism in lower second/third of epithelium suggestive of moderate dysplasia. His visual acuity returned to 20/20 after surgical excision but he developed multifocal corneal recurrences 6 weeks later, which were successfully managed with seven cycles of topical interferon immunotherapy. There are no recurrences observed at 6 months of follow-up.
