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
Merkel cell carcinoma (MCC) is a rare and aggressive tumour of the skin, characterised by a high rate of local recurrence and lymph node involvement. We present the case of a 58-year-old woman who developed a 5-cm tumour on the right lower eyelid, leading to ocular occlusion. Magnetic resonance imaging revealed an exophytic lesion in the right orbit, and a biopsy confirmed the diagnosis of MCC. After complete surgical resection and cervical emptying, the patient was treated with adjuvant radiotherapy. The final diagnosis was MCC, stage pT3 pN1 M0. The periocular location and tumour size were determinants in the treatment decision.
