Corneal Perforation Associated with Lacrimal Canaliculitis: A Case Series.
Article in International medical case reports journal, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
Purpose: To report seven eyes of six patients diagnosed with corneal perforation and lacrimal canaliculitis in a single facility. Methods: Clinical records of patients with corneal perforation accompanied by lacrimal canaliculitis seen by the authors were reviewed. Results: Six patients (7 eyes) with corneal perforation accompanied by lacrimal canaliculitis were identified. All patients were female, and all were treated with topical antibiotics while five were receiving topical corticosteroids. Two patients had a history of dacryocystitis and three had systemic immune diseases. The corneal lesions did not respond to topical antibiotics but were effectively treated by removal of concretions in the lacrimal canaliculi and lacrimal duct drainage together with conjunctival autograft or corneal transplantation. Conclusion: Lacrimal canaliculitis is a risk factor for corneal perforation. When corneal perforation does not respond to antibiotics, lacrimal canaliculitis should be considered.
