Topographic and anatomical features of the nasolacrimal duct obstruction due to radioiodine treatment.
Article in International ophthalmology, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 5 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
purposeTo investigate the topographic and anatomical features of secondary acquired nasolacrimal duct obstruction (SALDO) due to radioiodine therapy.
methodsDacryocystography-computed tomography (DCG-CT) scans of the nasolacrimal ducts in 64 cases with SALDO due to radioiodine therapy and in 69 cases with primary acquired nasolacrimal duct obstruction (PANDO) were studied. The anatomical site of obstruction was located, and morphometric characteristics of the nasolacrimal ducts were calculated: volume, length, and average sectional area. The statistical analysis was performed using the t-criterion, ROC analysis, and the odds ratio (OR).
resultsThe mean nasolacrimal section area was 10.7 ± 0.8 mm
conclusionsBy comparing CT scans of the nasolacrimal ducts, we observed that in SALDO obstruction due to radioactive iodine therapy is predominantly "distal," while in PANDO it is more often "proximal." The development of obstruction within SALDO is followed by more pronounced suprastenotic ectasia.
