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

Lacrimal gland masses represent a diverse group of pathological processes, including inflammatory, lymphoproliferative, and neoplastic lesions. They often present as a palpable mass in the superolateral orbit. There is significant overlap in clinical presentation, and imaging with ultrasound, computed tomography, and magnetic resonance imaging is essential for further characterisation. Key radiological features such as laterality, lobe involvement, lesion composition, margin definition, enhancement pattern, and associated bony changes can significantly narrow the differential diagnosis. This review will describe the radiological features of lacrimal gland masses to guide decision-making.
