Lacrimal gland pleomorphic adenoma: two referral center analyses in Hokkaido, Japan.
Article in International journal of ophthalmology, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
aimTo evaluate the clinical features of primary lacrimal gland pleomorphic adenoma (LGPA).
methodsThis was a 2-center, retrospective, observational study of primary LGPA patients who underwent tumor resection. Ophthalmic examinations and orbital computed tomography (CT) and/or magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) were performed.
resultsTotally 18 patients (10 males and 8 females, mean age 56.3±13.8y) were enrolled. Initial symptoms were unilateral proptosis in 8 patients, diplopia in 3 patients, and pressure sensation and no chief complaint in 2 patients each. The best-corrected visual acuity of the affected eye was 0.26±0.44 logMAR, and the intraocular pressure (IOP) of the affected and healthy eyes was 20.1±9.9 and 15.8±4.3 mm Hg, respectively. The difference in degree of proptosis between the affected and healthy eyes was 4.1±2.2 mm based on the Hertel ocular protrusion meter. One case had a history of breast cancer. Seventeen of 18 patients with an orbital lacrimal gland origin underwent total tumor excision by anterior/lateral orbitotomy.
conclusionOrbital LGPA can complicate IOP elevation, and require total tumor excision by orbitotomy. In rare cases, systemic malignancy may complicate LGPA, and in such cases total removal of the lacrimal gland tumor should be considered at the initial surgery.
