Evaluation of the lacrimal punctum parameters in Turkish population with anterior segment optic coherence tomography.
Article in International ophthalmology, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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 determine the anatomical parameters of puncta in Turkish population without any complaint of epiphora, using anterior segment optic coherence tomography (AS-OCT). MATERIALS AND
methodsThe healthy participants between 26 and 83 years old who applied to our outpatient clinic from May 2022 to June 2022 for spectacle prescription or the accompanying person of the patients were included in the study. All participants underwent AS-OCT (Revo 60, OPTOPOL Technology, Zawiercie, Poland).
resultsThis study included 105 eyes of 53 healthy participants, 27 (54 eyes) of the patients were male and 26 (51 eyes) of them were female with a mean age of 55.6 years (SD: 14.8, Range: 26-83 years). The mean external punctum width and internal punctum width values were 509.1 ± 101.5 μm (222-788 μm) and 229.2 ± 69.2 μm (108-459 μm), respectively. The mean value for vertical canaliculi depth was 637.8 ± 167 μm (337-1045 μm).
conclusionsOCT is a non-invasive and objective diagnostic method in the clinical diagnosis and treatment of punctal lesions and provides useful information in terms of visualizing the punctum and vertical canaliculus supplying anatomical data.
