[Diagnostics and treatment of lacrimal duct diseases : A structured patient-centred care concept].
Review in HNO, 2018. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 5 papers.
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
backgroundThe cardinal symptom of lacrimal stenosis is epiphora and a subjective high level of discomfort due to continuous dacryorrhea.
objectiveThe aim of the current paper is to present a structured review of common diagnostic and therapeutic strategies for lacrimal stenosis. MATERIALS AND
methodsThe most important diagnostic and therapeutic approaches are analysed using the existing literature and by reporting the authors' own experiences.
resultsA detailed patient history is crucial for diagnosis of lacrimal disorders. Precise inspection and palpation of the lacrimal and lid region may confirm lacrimal stenosis. Examinations of tear production, tear quality and the properties of the ocular surface are helpful. The most important diagnostic tool is lacrimal duct probing and syringing. Therapy is guided by underlying pathologies. Treatment of congenital lacrimal stenosis follows a staged concept. Epiphora in adults without signs of dacryocystitis should be treated with dacryoendoscopy. Dacryoendoscopy is also a therapeutic option for chronic dacryocystitis, but dacryocystorhinostomy may also be required. Lacrimal trauma should be reconstructed rapidly after the incident by lacrimal intubation. Neoplasia of the lacrimal excretory system requires histological classification to enable multidisciplinary management.
conclusionBasic ophthalmologic diagnostics are complemented by special symptom-based examinations. Due to ongoing improvement of available diagnostic and therapeutic options, patients' care is becoming increasingly individualised.
