Subcutaneous Eyelid Dirofilariasis Masquerading as an Eyelid Tumor: A Rare Case Report and Literature Review.
Article in Cureus, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 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
Subcutaneous eyelid dirofilariasis is a rare parasitic infection that can be mistaken for eyelid tumors due to its unusual presentation. In this report, we examine two cases in which patients initially presented with eyelid swellings that were initially diagnosed and treated as preseptal cellulitis in another medical facility. These patients were subsequently referred to our facility to rule out the possibility of a lid tumor. Upon further investigation, both cases were identified as subcutaneous dirofilariasis, a condition caused by the filarial nematode,
