1 · What the graph read from it

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.

2 · The registry

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 of Review: To provide an up-to-date review of the epidemiology, presentation, diagnosis, and treatment options for conjunctival nevi (CN). Recent Findings: Around 17.2%-42% of all conjunctival tumors have been found to be CN, which most frequently present in White individuals between the first to early third decade of life, with equal distribution between males and females. CN commonly occur in the interpalpebral bulbar conjunctiva with pigmentation ranging from amelanotic to dark. Diagnosis is typically made through slit lamp examination, visualized by a well circumscribed, variably elevated, variably pigmented, solitary lesion with clear cysts distributed throughout the pigment. In ambiguous cases, anterior segment optical coherence tomography (AS-OCT) can highlight the presence of sub-clinical cysts, whose presence points to a diagnosis of nevus. However, excisional biopsy with histopathology examination is the gold standard for identifying CN. Summary: CN are benign, variably pigmented lesions. They are the most common of the conjunctival melanocytic tumors. Due to the extremely low risk of transformation to malignant melanoma (MM), CN are usually managed with routine observation and photo documentation.
