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

Purpose: To report a novel case of clear cell sarcoma presenting as an intraocular mass in a young adult female. Observations: A 34-year-old female presented to the Retina Service as an emergency department referral for an intraocular lesion noted in the left eye. The patient endorsed progressively decreased vision in the left eye for three months duration. Fundus examination of the left eye was notable for a circumpapillary, retinal amelanotic mass with vitreous seeding. Due to concern for retinoblastoma and poor visual potential, the decision was made for primary enucleation. Initial histopathologic and immunohistochemical analyses demonstrated a primitive-appearing, epithelioid to spindled, intraretinal malignancy, with expression of all melanocytic markers by immunohistochemistry. Molecular genetic testing detected an Conclusions and importance: Clear cell sarcoma is a soft tissue sarcoma that can present within the eye and should be included in the differential diagnosis of amelanotic intraocular (intraretinal) tumors, including those in adults with clinical appearances similar to retinoblastoma.
