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

Conjunctival tumors involving non-limbal locations, such as the fornix and canthus, are typically excised using a "non-touch" technique, often with a wide surgical margin. Reconstruction of these large defects can be difficult due to the contour of the ocular surface and are often complicated by shortening of the fornix, symblepharon formation, and restriction of eye movements. In our experience, the use of amniotic membrane grafts combined with the sealant properties of fibrin glue such as Tisseel® has improved our surgical outcomes during the reconstruction phase. We would like to highlight and describe our surgical technique using fibrin glue and squint hooks to aid amniotic membrane graft reconstruction for surgically challenging locations in the fornix and canthus following excision of conjunctival lesions, with excellent surgical outcomes.
