Endoscopic dacryocystorhinostomy using mucosal flaps for bilateral overlapping.
Article in American journal of clinical and experimental immunology, 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
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
backgroundRecently, the use of posterior mucus flap has been introduced as a new technique for DCR, which has had a great success, as well as bone overlapping and minimal postoperative obstruction. Considering the need for these flaps to have a very good success, the purpose of this study was to examine the DCR endoscopic method using mucosal flaps for double-sided overlapping (as a new flap).
methodsIn this clinical trial study, 60 patients undergoing DCR endoscopy referring to Amin and Al-Zahra hospitals during 1396 to 1398 entered the study. Patients were divided into two groups, which included endoscopic DCR by using mucosal flaps for double-sided and non-flip overlapping. The success rate of surgery, postoperative pain and its complications were studied in two groups.
resultsAmong the complications observed after surgery, hematoma (6.7 in each group), bleeding (3.3% in each group) and nasal secretion (10% in the intervention group and 6.7% in the control group) were observed. No tear and obstruction of tear ducts were seen in the two groups. There was no significant difference between the two groups based on the complications of postoperative pain and the success rate of surgery (P>0.05).
conclusionUsing the double-sided overlapping flap method, the results of the same operation were similar to using the non-flap method. Therefore, the use of both endoscopic DCR techniques with two-way overlapping flap and without using it were two effective methods with limited complications.
