Clinical Diagnosis and Novel Treatment of Eyelid Molluscum Contagiosum.
Article in Case reports in infectious diseases, 2025. 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
Molluscum contagiosum is an infectious skin disease caused by the molluscum contagiosum virus that affects 6 million people in the United States annually. However, molluscum contagiosum on the eyelid is uncommon. The aim of this article is to describe the clinical diagnosis and effect of curettage using fine forceps under an operating microscope in a patient with eyelid molluscum contagiosum. We reported a patient who presented with a two-month long history of a dome-shaped skin-colored papule with a central umbilication containing white caseous material on the left upper eyelid margin. The patient underwent a complete curettage using fine forceps under an operating microscope. Postoperative histopathology revealed Henderson-Patterson bodies. A diagnosis of eyelid molluscum contagiosum was made. At the 1-week follow-up, his symptoms had resolved completely without scarring. No recurrence was observed at a nine-month follow-up. This novel surgical method may be beneficial and safe for patients with eyelid molluscum contagiosum. Slit-lamp examination is a noninvasive and valuable tool for evaluating this condition. Typical pathological features may help in the diagnosis. Early diagnosis and precise treatment can prevent reinfection and control transmission. This report is particularly relevant to dermatologists and ophthalmologists because it offers valuable insights into a rare localization of molluscum contagiosum and its treatment approach.
