A rare case of conjunctival melanoma in an Asian lady: A case report.
Article in International journal of surgery case reports, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
introductionOcular melanoma is the second most prevalent after cutaneous melanoma. There are few studies published on conjunctival melanoma, and the literature is limited especially concerning surgical techniques of excision. Despite being rare, invasive ocular melanoma has a high mortality rate ranging from 18 to 44 %. PRESENTATION: We present a case of Conjunctival Melanoma in a 36-year-old Asian lady that presented with rapid changes in the characteristics of a pre-existing conjunctival nevus, associated with itchiness, burning, and a growing mass. Examination showed a large pedunculated vascularized melanotic mass, highly suggestive of melanoma. She underwent wide local excision with biopsy, with histopathology confirming invasive conjunctival melanoma. Patient was managed by a multi-disciplinary team including oncology. DISCUSSION: Conjunctival melanomas are associated with a high mortality rate and prompt close follow up. Ethnic and racial variations in prognosis have been reported in the literature.
conclusionConjunctival melanomas are managed as a separate disease clinically due to the significant difference from other ocular melanomas in treatment and histopathology. A multi-disciplinary approach is needed to manage cases with respect to socioeconomic status.
