Excision combined with ocular surface reconstruction followed by topical chemotherapy for ocular surface squamous neoplasia.
Article in Japanese journal of ophthalmology, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 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
purposeTo investigate the visual prognosis of ocular surface squamous neoplasia (OSSN) after tumor resection and ocular surface reconstruction, and clarify factors that influence recurrence. STUDY
designRetrospective cohort study.
methodsMedical records of all patients who underwent surgical treatment for OSSN at our hospital between January 1996 and December 2019 were reviewed. Tumor size/location, histological classification, surgical procedure, intraoperative mitomycin-C use, and postoperative topical 5-fluorouracil (5-FU) administration were examined, and pre and postoperative visual acuity (VA) were compared to elucidate factors that influence disease recurrence.
resultsTumor excision was performed in 70 eyes of 70 cases (43 men, 27 women; average age: 71.6 ± 12.6 years) with dysplasia (8 eyes), carcinoma in situ (26 eyes), and invasive squamous cell carcinoma (36 eyes). Tumors were found in the limbus (N = 59 eyes), palpebral conjunctiva (N = 8 eyes), and from the bulbar to palpebral conjunctiva (N = 3 eyes). Surgical procedures performed were limbal transplantation/keratoepithelioplasty (N = 29 eyes), cultivated oral mucosal epithelial transplantation (N = 3 eyes), and auto-conjunctival epithelium transplantation (N = 2 eyes). Ocular surface was reconstructed using amniotic membrane, donor cornea, or cultivated epithelial sheet. The mean follow-up was 38.6 ± 38.6 months (range, 2 months to 13.8 years). VA postoperatively improved in 25 (61.0%) cases. Recurrence occurred in 19 (27.1%) cases at from 2 to 50 months (median: 12.5 months) postoperative. Uni- and multivariate analyses revealed that presurgical tumor size and postoperative administration of 5-FU were significantly related to recurrence.
conclusionCombined surgical excision and postoperative topical 5-FU administration effectively prevented OSSN recurrence, and ocular surface reconstruction contributed to improvement of VA.
