Primary Orbital Conjunctival Cyst Associated With the Inferior Rectus Muscle.
Article in Cureus, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
Primary simple conjunctival cysts are congenital, non-neoplastic, fluid-filled lesions lined by non-keratinizing squamous epithelium without dermal appendages. They are usually located in the anterior superonasal or superotemporal orbit and are typically managed with complete surgical excision. A 69-year-old woman presented with a 10-month history of diplopia and a 2-week history of right lower eyelid swelling. There was no history of any ocular trauma or surgery. Slit-lamp examination of the right eye revealed a greyish subconjunctival cyst located inferiorly. A Hess chart showed a limitation of infraduction in the right eye, and the field of binocular single vision presented diplopia in the lower and right-lower directions. Magnetic resonance imaging demonstrated a non-enhancing homogenous lesion above the inferior oblique muscle. The course of the inferior rectus muscle was unclear. Complete surgical excision was performed via the swinging eyelid approach. The tumor was firmly attached to the inferior rectus muscle intraoperatively. Pathological examinations of the excised tumor showed a unilocular cyst lined with non-keratinizing squamous epithelium, and it was devoid of goblet cells, dermal appendages, and muscle fibers. On day one post-surgery, full and equal extraocular movements were observed, with no complaints of diplopia. At the one-year follow-up, the Hess chart confirmed improvement of the limited infraduction, and no tumor recurrence was noted.
