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

Ectopic lacrimal glands, also known as lacrimal gland choristomas, are seen in various areas of the eyes and are characterized by their placement outside of their typical anatomical position. While tarsal lacrimal gland choristomas are uncommon, the bulbar conjunctiva and limbal area have been identified as the most frequent sites. Herein, we report a 32-year-old female with a mass on the left lower eyelid conjunctiva that is histopathologically proved to be a lacrimal gland choristoma.
