Clinical features and histopathological analysis of corneal myxoma.
Article in Scientific reports, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
To describe the presentation, histopathological characteristics, and management outcomes for corneal myxoma. This one-armed cohort study evaluated histologically confirmed consecutive cases of corneal myxoma. Data were evaluated on demographics, clinical presentation, management, histopathological and immunohistochemical features, and outcomes; visual acuity and corneal clarity. The study sample was comprised of 10 eyes (10 patients). The median age at presentation was 10.5 years. Five eyes had high intraocular pressure, four eyes had decreased distance visual acuity and one eye became discolored. Surgical management included penetrating keratoplasty (8 eyes), phototherapeutic keratectomy (1 eye), and evisceration because of a blind painful eye (1 eye). Postoperative best-corrected distance vision ranged from 20/20 to 20/60 (1 eye), < 20/60 to 20/200 (2 eyes), < 20/200 to 20/400 (1 eye), < 20/200 to light perception (4 eyes) and no light perception (1 eye). The histopathology of these lesions showed typical subepithelial proliferating spindle-shaped cells of mesenchymal origin within a myxoid stroma rich in glycosaminoglycan. The median duration of follow-up was 5 years. Recurrence was observed in an eye that underwent local excision. Corneal myxoma is a rare lesion that is presumably isolated, secondary, and reactive in nature. Surgically management yields reasonably favorable outcomes.
