Deterioration of contrast sensitivity in eyes with epiphora due to lacrimal passage obstruction.
Article in PloS one, 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 8 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
purposeEpiphora causes deterioration in contrast sensitivity in some eye diseases. This study was conducted to investigate contrast sensitivity in eyes with epiphora caused by lacrimal passage obstruction.
methodsThis single-center, prospective case series enrolled 57 patients with unilateral lacrimal passage obstruction. The best-corrected visual acuity (BCVA), contrast sensitivity function, and lower tear meniscus of the affected and contralateral unaffected eyes were compared. The area under the log contrast sensitivity function (AULCSF) was calculated.
resultsThe BCVA did not significantly differ between the affected and contralateral eyes, while the AULCSF was significantly lower in the affected eyes than that in the contralateral eyes (median 1.35, interquartile range 1.22-1.44 vs. median 1.36, interquartile range 1.28-1.46, P = 0.032). Lower tear meniscus parameters were significantly higher in the affected eyes than those in the contralateral eyes (P < 0.005).
conclusionsThe contrast sensitivity function is significantly diminished in eyes with epiphora caused by lacrimal passage obstruction.
