A Rare Case of Morpheaform Basal Cell Carcinoma With Lacrimal Sac Invasion.

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
Basal cell carcinoma (BCC) is the most common type of skin cancer and is a significant focus in plastic surgery practice. BCC also represents the most common epithelial tumor of the periocular region, particularly affecting the medial canthus and lower eyelid. Multiple studies have suggested that tumor recurrence is more likely when BCC arises in specific anatomical sites, such as the medial canthus, or involves aggressive histological subtypes like morpheaform or sclerosing variants. BCC located near the medial canthus may extend to involve the lacrimal drainage system and adjacent ocular structures if not treated promptly. Nevertheless, direct invasion of the lacrimal canaliculus or sac remains uncommon, with only a few cases reported in the literature to date. In this report, we present a case of morpheaform BCC with invasion of the lacrimal sac and discuss the surgical management and reconstructive approach.
