Retinal ependymoma in phthisis bulbi: A case report and literature review.
Article in Taiwan journal of ophthalmology. 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
A 29-year-old woman experienced long-term phthisis bulbi owing to previous refractory idiopathic posterior uveitis since childhood and eventually underwent evisceration. Histological examination revealed that the retina was intermingled with the unusual glial mass lesion, which contained spindle cells with the elongated fibrillary process and columnar cells surrounding the round lumen with pseudorosettes formation. Mitoses were rarely seen. The tumor cells expressed S100, glial fibrillary acidic protein, CD99, and vimentin, while Ki67 was not detected. The final diagnosis was intraocular retinal ependymoma. Intraocular ependymoma was extremely rare and lacked comprehensive literature reviews. Our case is the very first example of retinal ependymoma in East Asia. Evisceration or enucleation followed by regular scrutinization is regarded sufficient for treating this condition.
