1 · What the graph read from 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.

2 · The registry

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

(1) Background: We aim to find a novel blink parameter in nasolacrimal duct obstruction (NDO) patients and analyze parameters that could reflect subjective symptoms and objective indicators at the same time through a blink dynamic analysis. (2) Methods A retrospective study was conducted with 34 patients (48 eyes) who underwent lacrimal passage intubation (LPI) and 24 control groups (48 eyes). All patients' blink patterns were measured using an ocular surface interferometer before and after LPI, including total blink (TB) and partial blink (PB) and the blink indices blink time (BT), lid closing time (LCT), closure time (CT), lid opening time (LOT), interblink time (IBT), closing speed (CS) and opening speed (OS). The tear meniscus height (TMH) was measured, and the questionnaire "Epiphora Patient's Quality of Life (E-QOL)," which includes daily activity restriction as well as static and dynamic activities, was completed. (3) Results: Compared to CT and the ratio of CT during BT (CT/BT) in control (89.4 ± 20.0 msec, 13.16%), those in NDOs were longer (140.3 ± 92.0 msec, 20.20%) and were also related to TMH. After LPI, CT and CT/BT were recovered to 85.4 ± 22.07 msec, 13.29% (
