A case report of Muir-Torre syndrome (MTS) in a Chinese patient.
Article in BMC ophthalmology, 2025. 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
backgroundMuir-Torre syndrome is a rare disorder characterized by patients suffering from sebaceous gland tumors or keratoacanthoma and visceral malignancies. More cases have been reported in Europe than in Asia. In this study, we report a case of MTS in China. CASE PRESENTATION: A 64 -year-old woman presented with a growth on the left upper eyelid noticed 3 months prior. Ancillary examinations include orbital CT, Ultrasound of parotid and submandibular glands, and Ultrasound of the cervical lymph nodes. All showed no clear abnormalities. Eyelid tumors were removed after general anesthesia. Seven months after the operation, a malignant rectal tumor was found. Based on the patient's clinical manifestations, physical signs, and ancillary test findings, this case was ultimately diagnosed as a rare presentation of keratoacanthoma combined with rectal malignancy.
conclusionsThis case report describes a rare occurrence of Muir-Torre syndrome (MTS) diagnosed in a patient who presented with a keratoacanthoma of the eyelid and subsequently developed rectal carcinoma. The diagnosis was confirmed through comprehensive clinical evaluation and molecular analysis demonstrating microsatellite instability, consistent with the diagnostic criteria for MTS.
