Capillary hemangioma of the caruncle: A case report and review of the literature.
Article in American journal of ophthalmology case reports, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
Purpose: To describe a rare case of capillary hemangioma of the caruncle and to present a summary of previously published cases. Observations: A 59-year-old woman presented with a reddish, indurated mass of the left caruncle following minor ocular trauma. Slit-lamp examination revealed a well-defined vascular lesion measuring 6 × 6 mm without deep extension. Orbital imaging confirmed a circumscribed, superficial lesion. Histopathologic evaluation of the excised lesion demonstrated lobular proliferation of thin-walled capillary vessels within fibrous stroma, consistent with capillary hemangioma. The lesion showed partial spontaneous regression and no recurrence following complete excision.A comprehensive literature search of PubMed, Scopus, Embase, Web of Science, and Google Scholar (from inception to October 10, 2025) identified only a few histologically confirmed capillary hemangiomas of the caruncle. Most vascular lesions reported at this site were classified as pyogenic granuloma (lobular capillary hemangioma), emphasizing the exceptional rarity of true capillary hemangioma. Conclusions and importance: Capillary hemangioma of the caruncle is exceedingly uncommon and may clinically mimic other vascular or inflammatory lesions. This case, together with the literature review, broadens the recognized clinicopathologic spectrum of caruncular vascular tumors and suggests that antecedent trauma may contribute to lesion development. Excisional biopsy remains the diagnostic and therapeutic gold standard.
