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

Transplantation surgery becomes more widespread with time worldwide; organ transplantation increases the risk of developing malignancies. This phenomenon is primarily due to immunosuppressive treatment which is one of the mainstay approaches to prevent transplant rejection. It is aimed to describe clinical signs and symptoms of histologically proven ocular surface squamous neoplasia (OSSN) in renal transplant patients. Three patients, who previously underwent renal transplant surgery, diagnosed with OSSN are presented. The histopathological examination results were conclusive for squamous cell neoplasia in all cases. No recurrence in any patients was observed after total surgical excision, cryotherapy, and reconstruction with amniotic membrane. Solid organ transplant patients undergo intense immunosuppressive treatment to prevent transplant rejection. That immunosuppressive treatment increases the risk of developing secondary malignancies including OSSN. It is important to inform all transplant patients about these risks. Even though OSSN is known to be a relatively benign acting tumor that rarely metastasizes to distant organs, the clinical course might change if it develops in an immunocompromised patient. For this reason, these patients should be monitored for any formation of a mass on the ocular surface. Surgical management through complete excision can result in the complete resolution of a tumor.
