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

backgroundSquamous cell carcinoma of the conjunctiva is a rare local malignancy, and there are few reports in literature of massive growth within 7 weeks. CASE PRESENTATION: A 60-year old Yemeni male, complained from heaviness discomfort with 2 weeks fresh bleeding from left orbital big mass. The tumor spell out the entire orbital outlet as pinkish fleshy fine lobes in tumor sides as most of the upper and lower surface was covered by intact skin. There was a history of eye-surface growth excision followed by lids closure 18 months back. The magnetic resonance imaging showed the tumor dimensions (10.8 × 9.8 × 9.4 cm) with the eye in its posterior part. The patient underwent urgent de-bulking by exentration (hemoglobin was 7.0 gm%) with adjuvant radiation after a histopathology diagnosis of well-differentiated squamous cell carcinoma. The low socioeconomic status and other unknown factors might enhance the tumor (rapid) growth. The patient was healthy for 17 months post management, thereafter got left leg limping. By 24 months, the magnetic resonance imaging with angiography of the whole body showed: irregular lesion in upper temporal part of the left orbit and 9 × 4 × 2 cm mass within the left calf muscle and 2.5 × 2.2 cm and 2 × 1.7 cm in diameters in left and right lungs.

conclusionThis is a rapidly growing with massive size ocular surface squamous cell carcinoma exhibited was also recurrent exhibited systemic manifestations within 4 years of onset, although initially it was isolated and low staging.
