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
Dacryocystorhinostomy is the gold-standard for distal lacrimal obstructions. This study aims to report the demography, clinical presentation, influence of agger nasi opening, uncinectomy and septoplasty, the use of silicone stent tubes, complications and success of endoscopic and external dacryocystorhinostomy over a period of 11 years. Retrospective review of clinical records, from January 2012 to December 2022, at a tertiary center in Portugal. A total of 249 procedures, 6 external and 243 endoscopic, were performed, including 39 revision cases. There was a female predominance (79.9%) with a mean age at diagnosis of 66.4 years. Recurrent acute dacryocystitis, reported by 33.3%, was associated with higher success (
