Imaging of Anterior Segment Tumours: A Comparison of Ultrasound Biomicroscopy Versus Anterior Segment Optical Coherence Tomography.
Review in Cureus, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 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
Anterior segment tumours of the eye are relatively rare but can pose significant morbidity and mortality. We conducted a literature review to compare the performance of ultrasound biomicroscopy to anterior segment optical coherence tomography in the imaging of these tumours. A total of seven studies were included accounting for a cumulative 1,114 eyes. Ultrasound biomicroscopy has traditionally formed, and remains, the mainstay of tumour imaging due to its ability to penetrate pigmented lesions and delineate the posterior border of tumours, and the current evidence supports this.
