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
Objective: This study aimed to assess the demographic, clinical, histological classifications, and anterior segment optical coherence tomography (AS-OCT) features of conjunctival malignancies. The goal was to identify factors associated with tumor malignancy. Materials and Methods: This retrospective analysis included 37 patients with conjunctival tumors. Data collected comprised age, gender, tumor coloration, histological type, location, corneal involvement, subepithelial reflectivity of the lesion on AS-OCT, lesion homogeneity on AS-OCT, and the presence of intralesional cysts on AS-OCT. Statistical analysis was performed using chi-square and t-tests, with a significance level of α<0.05. The study protocol was approved by the Erciyes University Health Sciences Research Ethics Committee (Approval Number: 2025/365, Date: 09.07.2025). Results: Malignant tumors were identified in significantly older patients. No significant gender differences were found regarding malignancy. Amelanotic appearance was significantly more common in malignant tumors. The types of tumors identified included conjunctival nevus, conjunctival ocular surface squamous neoplasia (OSSN), conjunctival lymphoma, conjunctival melanoma, and conjunctival cyst. No significant relationship was found between tumor location and malignancy. Corneal involvement was significantly associated with malignancy. On AS-OCT, malignant tumors exhibited a hyporeflective subepithelial lesion with homogeneous internal reflectivity. Although benign tumors contained more intralesional cysts on AS-OCT, this finding was not statistically significant. Conclusion: Conjunctival tumors exhibit various characteristics. Advanced age, amelanotic pigmentation, corneal involvement, and a hyporeflective homogeneous lesion on AS-OCT are significant indicators of malignancy, highlighting the importance of detailed examination and increased vigilance.
