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
Purpose: To investigate the incidence rate, histopathological types, and time trends of primary eye cancer, eyelid cancer, and ophthalmic lymphoma among the Chinese population. Methods: The records of patients diagnosed with primary eye and eyelid cancers from 2005 to 2018 in Hong Kong were retrieved from the Hong Kong Cancer Registry. Patient demographics, cancer sites, and histology were recorded. Population-level age-standardized incidences and trends were analyzed by age and sex and compared with existing literature. International Classification of Diseases, Ninth Edition (ICD-9) codes were converted to ICD-10 codes. Eye cancer was defined as malignancy involving the eyeball, intraocular structures, lacrimal system, and orbit. Results: A total of 442 eye cancers and 1103 eyelid cancers were included. Among these cancers, 295 cases were ophthalmic lymphoma. The age-standardized annual incidence rate was 4.04 per 1,000,000 population for eye cancer, 6.30 for eyelid cancer, and 1.89 for ophthalmic lymphoma. The incidence rates increased with age (P < 0.001), but there were no sex differences. The incidence rate of eyelid cancer and ophthalmic lymphoma showed an increasing trend, with annual percent changes of 2.8% and 2%, respectively. In eye cancers, the most common histological type was lymphoma (58.1%), and the most common site was orbit (35.5%). The most common histology for eyelid cancer was basal cell carcinoma, and for ophthalmic lymphoma it was extranodal marginal zone B cell lymphoma. Conclusions: In the Chinese population, the incidence of eye cancer has remained stable, whereas eyelid cancer and ophthalmic lymphoma are increasing. Lymphoma has been the most common histological type in recent years, in contrast to findings in Western populations.
