Clinical Experience of Stereotactic Radiosurgery at a Linear Accelerator for Intraocular Melanoma Combined with Iridociliary Tumor Resection: A Case Report.

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
Introduction: The treatment of iridociliary and choroidal melanoma relies on the patient's systemic health, tumor size, location, related features, state of the opposing eye, and personal preferences. The two categories are radiation and surgical techniques. Transpupillary thermotherapy, plaque radiotherapy, charged particle irradiation, local resection, enucleation, orbital exenteration, and experimental nanoparticle therapy are all options for treating choroidal melanoma. Case Presentation: The method that entails creating a partial thickness circular, rectangular, or polyhedral scleral flap in the region covering the tumor after removing a portion of the extraocular muscles is the most popular method for local excision in choroidal or choroidal-ciliary body cancers. We discuss our experience treating iridociliary melanoma using block excision and stereotactic irradiation on a linear accelerator with TD 20.0 Gy. Conclusion: One of the treatment modalities is the combined treatment approach using stereotactic irradiation and tumor resection, and our results 1 year after therapy are comparable to the rates of local control and anatomic eye preservation to those achieved in studies of comparable uveal melanoma treatment modalities.
