Poorly differentiated sebaceous carcinoma of the lacrimal sac in a young adult: A case report.
Article in SAGE open medical case reports, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
Lacrimal sac and nasolacrimal duct tumors are extremely rare, and most of them are malignant tumors, which are often misdiagnosed as chronic dacryocystitis. We herein report a rare case of a 29-year-old female, presented with a history of watering in the right eye associated with a rapidly progressive mass for 4 months near the medial canthus. Further clinical examination revealed firm, non-tender mass occupying the lacrimal sac fossa extending above the medial canthus. The systemic examination was unremarkable, with a palpable right submandibular lymph node palpable. Contrast-enhanced computerized tomography (CECT) orbit revealed a well-defined mass at the medial canthus extending into the osseous nasolacrimal canal. An excision biopsy was performed, and histopathology revealed a poorly differentiated sebaceous carcinoma of the lacrimal sac. The oncologist advised CECT chest, face, and neck post-surgery, which revealed malignant neoplastic changes at the right lacrimal sac region and lacrimal duct with metastasis at right nodes I b, II, V, and left nodes I b and II. Five-month follow-up showed no signs of recurrence.
