Does Bicanalicular Intubation Improve the Outcome of Endoscopic Dacryocystorhinostomy?

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
The aim of this study was to compare the success of endoscopic dacryocystorinostomy with and without bicanalicular intubation in the treatment of distal nasolacrimal duct obstruction.
methodsIn a prospective, randomized, comparative study, endoscopic dacryocystorinostomy without bicanalicular silicone intubation (Group I) and endoscopic dacryocystorinostomy with intubation (Group II) were performed in patients with distal nasolacrimal duct obstructions. The tubes were removed 3 months after surgery in Group II, and the patients were followed up for 6 months after surgery. Therapeutic success was defined as the fluorescein dye disappearance test grade 0-1 corresponding with a complete resolution of symptoms.
resultsThirty patients, aged 23-86 years, were included in the study. The success rate was 13/15 (86.67%) in Group I and in 14/15 (93.33%) in Group II. The difference between the two groups was not statistically significant (
conclusionsBicanalicular intubation does not significantly increase the success rate of EDCR in distal nasolacrimal obstruction in adults.
