Basal cell carcinoma appearing to emanate from the punctum.

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
Purpose: To present the clinical and histological characteristics of a basal cell carcinoma, which appears to emanate from the lacrimal punctum. Observations: An 81-year-old caucasian female presented with an irritating lesion arising from the left upper punctum for approximately four months. Examination demonstrated a pedunculated pinkish lesion emerging from the left upper punctum. The patient elected to pursue the removal of the lesion. An excisional biopsy was performed by placing a curette within the upper eyelid punctum, and the lesion was scooped out. Pathology showed invasive nodular basal cell carcinoma. Following the diagnosis, a wedge resection of the left upper punctal region was performed, which showed no residual carcinoma. Conclusion and importance: This case describes a unique instance of a basal cell carcinoma clinically appearing to arise solely from the upper eyelid punctum. A level of suspicion should be maintained when excising benign-appearing eyelid lesions, and a histopathological analysis is warranted.
