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: Herein, we present a case of new-onset medial ectropion of the lower eyelids and persistent painless cervical lymphadenopathy in an 85-year-old man highlighting a unique presentation of small lymphocytic lymphoma (SLL). Observations: Physical examination revealed bilateral medial ectropion with associated follicular changes to the palpebral conjunctiva and extensive cervical lymphadenopathy. Conjunctival biopsies were taken during ectropion repair in addition to fine needle biopsy of the cervical lymphadenopathy which both independently confirmed a diagnosis of SLL. Surgical intervention, including bilateral lateral tarsal strip and medial spindle procedures, yielded excellent postoperative outcomes. Given the patient's staging, he remained under observation until treatment was warranted to address progressive lymphadenopathy. Conclusions and importance: This report contributes valuable new insight into the ocular manifestations of lymphoproliferative disease.
