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: To describe long term follow-up of two cases of corneally displaced conjunctival melanoma with multiple recurrences. Observations: Case 1 is a 49-year-old male with recurrent conjunctival melanoma and primary acquired melanosis treated over 13 years, who eventually presented with an elevated amelanotic corneal mass. Case 2 is a 61-year-old female with a similar history of recurrent conjunctival melanoma and primary acquired melanosis treated over 21 years, who presented with a subepithelial corneal opacity. Both patients were treated with a combination of topical chemotherapy, wide excision, map biopsy, cryotherapy, and local and systemic workup showing no evidence of metastasis. Conclusions and importance: Conjunctival melanoma has a high risk of recurrence and can present as amelanotic corneally displaced conjunctival melanoma, warranting thorough workup to detect potential subclinical spread of the disease.
