Ophthalmomyiasis Externa in an Atypical Region.
Article in Case reports in ophthalmological medicine, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
Ophthalmomyiasis is a rare condition caused by the infestation of ocular or periocular tissues by fly larvae. It is typically reported in tropical regions, rural settings, or among individuals with animal exposure. This report presents a unique case of ophthalmomyiasis externa in a 2-year-old girl from upstate New York. The patient presented with persistent left lower eyelid edema, erythema, and discharge following an insect bite that was unresponsive to antibiotic therapy. A botfly larva was expressed with digital pressure. The case underscores the diagnostic challenges of ophthalmomyiasis in unlikely regions and raises important questions about the ecological and environmental shifts facilitating the spread of parasitic diseases. Early recognition and intervention, including larval extraction and systemic therapy, proved effective. This report highlights the need for vigilance and broader differential diagnoses in regions where such infestations are uncommon.
