Corneal Actinic Keratosis in an Elderly Farmer: A Rare Case Report.
Article in Case reports in ophthalmology. 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
Introduction: Actinic keratosis (AK) is a premalignant epithelial lesion primarily associated with chronic ultraviolet exposure. While it commonly affects sun-exposed skin, its occurrence on the ocular surface is rare. Clinically, it may resemble ocular surface squamous neoplasia (OSSN), necessitating histopathological confirmation for accurate diagnosis and appropriate management. Case Presentation: A 78-year-old male, HBsAg positive, presented with progressive diminution of vision in the right eye for 6 months and a visible mass over the right eye for the past 2 months. Best-corrected visual acuity was 6/12p in the right eye and 6/9 in the left eye. Slit-lamp examination of the right eye revealed a 4 × 1 mm keratotic lesion with surrounding hyperpigmentation on the corneal surface. Both eyes were cataractous. Fundus evaluation was within normal limits in both eyes. A clinical diagnosis of OSSN was considered. The lesion was excised and sent for histopathological analysis, which revealed features consistent with AK. The patient was treated with topical mitomycin C 0.02% and topical prednisolone acetate 1% postoperatively. No recurrence was observed on follow-up. Conclusion: Ocular surface AK is a rare and potentially premalignant lesion that may mimic OSSN. Clinical suspicion, combined with histopathological examination, is crucial for diagnosis. Surgical excision followed by topical chemotherapy offers effective management and reduces the risk of recurrence or malignant transformation.
