Clinicopathological characteristics of ocular surface squamous neoplasia: a 10-year review form a referral tertiary centre in Nigeria.

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
backgroundOcular surface squamous neoplasia (OSSN) is a heterogeneous group of proliferative squamous lesions on the ocular surface with varying biologic behaviours. This study aims to report the clinical profile and pathological characteristics of cases of OSSN seen at a tertiary referral centre in North West Nigeria.
methodsA retrospective review of all cases of OSSN diagnosed over a 10-year period was done.
resultsOSSN accounted for 68 out of 91 ocular surface lesions affecting twice as many males as females and a peak incidence in the 30-39 years age group. They frequently presented as higher-grade and higher-stage lesions with invasive squamous cell carcinoma being the most frequently diagnosed OSSN. They also frequently showed an association with HIV infection and a relatively long duration of symptoms before presentation.
conclusionOSSN occurs in a relatively young age group in our environment. Certain clinical and epidemiological features appear to predict the occurrence of higher-grade lesions, and this may help in the clinical prediction of likely pathologic grade and/or biologic behaviour of these lesions.
