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

We report the case of an elderly patient who presented with an apocrine hidrocystoma in the lower conjunctival fornix in both eyes. A 75-year-old woman exhibited tumors with a serous component, partly blue in color, in the bilateral lower conjunctival fornix in both eyes. A biopsy of the tumor in the conjunctival fornix in the left eye revealed the formation of multilocular cysts in the subepithelial stroma, lined with several layers of cuboidal epithelium, and papillary growth into the cyst lumen was also evident. Thus, a definitive diagnosis of an apocrine hidrocystoma was made. The findings in this case highlight that apocrine hidrocystomas can occur bilaterally in the lower conjunctival fornix.
