Sublimation of Benign Conjunctival Nevi Using Plasma-Assisted Noninvasive Surgery: A Clinical Case Series.
Article in Iranian journal of medical sciences, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 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
Background: Conjunctival nevi (CN) are common benign ocular tumors. Given their low risk of malignancy, surgical removal of nevi is primarily requested by patients. Herein, we introduce Atmospheric Low-temperature Plasma (ALTP) as a novel noninvasive method for the removal of CN. Methods: A clinical case series was conducted from 2020 to 2021 at the Vision Health Ophthalmic Center in Tehran, Iran. CN in one of the eyes of seven patients was treated. In all patients, the benignity of CN was confirmed by ocular oncologists. The white handpiece of the Plexr device, which generates plasma with the lowest output, was used to apply plasma spots on the nevi. In addition, the Ocular Surface Disease Index (OSDI) questionnaire was completed by all patients before and six months after the treatment. Results: In all patients, the nevi outside the limbus area completely disappeared. The mean size of pre- and post-operative nevi was 3.89×11.7 and 0.54×1.69 mm, respectively. Results of the OSDI questionnaire showed significantly lower scores after the surgery in all patients. Conclusion: The ALTP method is a simple, cost-effective, and office-based surgery to remove CN safely and effectively.
