Imaging of Merkel cell carcinoma of the eyelid: A case report.
Article in Oncology letters, 2024. 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
Merkel cell carcinoma (MCC) is a rare primary neuroendocrine carcinoma commonly found in older adults in areas of the skin that are susceptible to ultraviolet ray damage. The current study reports the case of a 79-year-old woman who presented to the Affiliated Hospital of Zunyi Medical University (Zunyi, China) with a painless lump in the lower eyelid of the left eye accompanied by photophobic tears for 4 months. Head computed tomography (CT) and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) showed a space-occupying lesion ~2.8×2.4 cm in size outside the left orbital muscle cone, which was poorly demarcated from the surrounding normal tissues. Markedly intense and tortuous walking vascular shadows were observed within the tumor tissues. Fluorine-18-fluorodeoxyglucose positron emission tomography (
