Comparison of Outcomes of Silicone Tube Intubation with or without Dacryoendoscopy for the Treatment of Congenital Nasolacrimal Duct Obstruction.
Article in Journal of clinical medicine, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 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
In this retrospective study, we compared and analyzed two groups of patients who underwent silicone tube intubation (STI) to treat congenital nasolacrimal duct obstruction (CNDO). We employed dacryoendoscopy to visualize the lacrimal pathways of one group. In total, 85 eyes of 69 patients were included (52 of 41 patients in the non-dacryoendoscopy and 33 eyes of 28 patients in the dacryoendoscopy group). Clinical characteristics, dacryoendoscopic findings, and surgical outcomes were evaluated. The overall STI success rate was 91.8%, and the success rate was significantly higher in the dacryoendoscopy versus non-dacryoendoscopy group (97.0% and 88.5%, respectively). For patients < 36 months of age, the success rate was 100% (23 eyes). All patients with Hasner valve membranous obstructions were younger than 36 months and had structural obstructions of the lacrimal drainage system (LDS) (
