Ocular Neurofibromatosis.
Article in Cureus, 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
A 14-year-old boy presented with a right orbital lid mass, which had slowly grown over the last 4.5 years, as well as some impaired visual acuity in the affected (right) eye. We assessed the patient by taking a detailed history and physical examination. A Snellen chart was used to assess visual acuity, which revealed decreased acuity in the right eye as compared to the left eye. Pupillary reactions, including relative afferent pupillary reflexes, were unremarkable; anterior and posterior chamber assessment was normal including that of the optic disc and macula. Additionally, the intraocular pressure was within acceptable limits. The mass was excised surgically as it had caused significant disfigurement and posed risk to the patient in terms of the possibility for the lesion to increase in severity. It was an approach utilizing a blepharoplasty incision, horizontal wedge resection, and a frontalis sling done under general anesthesia. A biopsy of the mass identified it as a plexiform lesion of the orbit such as that attributed to neurofibromatosis type 1.
