Merkel cell carcinoma of the eyelid and periocular region: A review.

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
Merkel cell carcinoma (MCC) is a rare primary cutaneous neuroendocrine carcinoma with a high mortality rate. It typically affects elderly Caucasians, with a slight predilection for males. It is associated with chronic sun exposure and/or immunosuppression. Almost half of all cases occur on the head or neck and an estimated 2.5%-10% arise on the eyelids or periocular skin. It ranks as the 5
