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

Eyelid oncocytomas are rare benign epithelial tumors that cannot be reliably distinguished clinically from other benign or malignant eyelid margin lesions. This case series describes three patients aged 64 to 77 years with slowly progressive, well-circumscribed, reddish-violaceous lesions of the lower eyelid, two of which were located peripunctally. Histopathology revealed sharply demarcated epithelial tumors composed of polygonal oncocytes with finely granular eosinophilic cytoplasm and predominantly adenoid or tubular architecture. Immunohistochemistry showed tumor cell positivity for cytokeratin 7 (CK7), a low Ki-67 proliferation index, and focal positivity of myoepithelial cell components for α-smooth muscle actin (SMA). After complete excision, no recurrence was observed during 10 to 18 months of follow-up. Oncocytoma should be considered in the differential diagnosis of chronic progressive, reddish-livid eyelid margin lesions, particularly in older patients. Histopathologic confirmation is essential, as complete excision is diagnostic and usually curative.
