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

A 1.5-year-old spayed female English setter dog was presented because of mucopurulent discharge emanating from the left medial canthal region of 8-months duration despite medical management and repeated nasolacrimal flushing. Dacryocystorhinography demonstrated obstruction at the level of the lacrimal sac. Three-dimensional (3-D) modelling software was used to print a 3-D construct of the facial bones and a drill guide over the region of obstruction. The 3-D prints were sterilized and utilized during surgery to facilitate access to the lacrimal sac. The left lacrimal sac was identified, explored, and flushed. Patency was re-established, and the dog was asymptomatic 7 months after surgery.
