A rare case of adenoma of the nonpigmented ciliary epithelium managed with a triple procedure: a case report.

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
Introduction: Adenoma of the non-pigmented ciliary epithelium (ANPCE) is a rare intraocular tumor that is frequently misdiagnosed due to its concealed location and non-specific presentation. This report describes the diagnostic challenges of ANPCE and presents a novel "triple procedure" surgical approach that integrates partial lamellar sclerouvectomy (PLSU) with concurrent phacoemulsification and intraocular lens (IOL) implantation. Case presentation: A 39-year-old Asian woman presented with a two-month history of progressive visual decline in the left eye, which had been initially misdiagnosed as a cataract at a referral hospital. Slit-lamp examination revealed a mass posterior to the iris at the 10-11 o'clock position. Multimodal imaging, including ultrasound biomicroscopy (UBM) and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), demonstrated a ciliary body lesion. An incisional biopsy with immunohistochemical analysis confirmed the diagnosis of ANPCE. The patient subsequently underwent localized tumor resection via PLSU combined with phacoemulsification and IOL implantation. Postoperatively, the best-corrected visual acuity (BCVA) improved to 20/22 (0.9), and no recurrence was observed during follow-up. Conclusion: Unexplained unilateral cataract warrants meticulous slit-lamp and UBM evaluation to exclude occult ciliary body tumors. A staged diagnostic approach may reduce iatrogenic risk, while a triple procedure can achieve complete tumor clearance and restore visual function.
