Attempted ablation of an orbital cyst in a dog with 1% polidocanol using fluoroscopy and contrast cystography.
Article in Veterinary ophthalmology, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 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
A 4-year-old female spayed mixed-breed dog received enucleation surgery of the right eye in 2018 following the diagnosis of glaucoma. The patient was presented in 2021 for recurrent swelling of the right orbit. Ultrasound confirmed the presence of a cystic structure, and chemical ablation with 1% polidocanol (compounded, Stokes Pharmacy, Mt. Laurel, NJ) and contrast cystography was elected for treatment. Iodinated contrast was injected under fluoroscopy and after no leakage was noted, the contrast was aspirated from the orbital cyst and immediately followed by an injection of 1% polidocanol solution. The orbital cyst collapsed within 24 h but returned 25 days post-injection. A second attempt was made for chemical cyst wall ablation with 1% polidocanol foam and ultrasound guidance. The orbital cyst returned 12 weeks post 1% polidocanol foam injection, and the patient presented for surgical removal. Histopathology revealed an orbital conjunctival inclusion cyst associated with granulomatous and lymphoplasmacytic inflammation. Histopathology confirmed that the draining cyst was lined by conjunctiva and likely represented conjunctival remnants from the previous enucleation. This report describes fluoroscopic guidance for sclerotherapy in the treatment of a post-enucleation orbital cyst in a dog. Contrast cystography may be useful to verify catheter position and demonstrate cyst margins prior to injection. This case report highlights the importance of complete conjunctival excision during enucleation.
