Impact of postoperative self-care on early outcomes in endoscopic dacryocystorhinostomy: a retrospective observational study.
Observational study in International ophthalmology, 2025. 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
purposeThis study aimed to evaluate the influence of standardized postoperative self-care protocols on short-term surgical outcomes in patients undergoing endoscopic dacryocystorhinostomy (En-DCR).
methodsThis study evaluated the early prognosis (1 month) and personal care of 90 patients with 94 eyes who underwent endoscopic dacryocystorhinostomy (En-DCR) for Chronic dacryocystitis (CD). Surgical outcomes were divided into ostium grade and operative effect. Operative effect was judged by subjective symptom improvement, in addition to ostium assessment based on the results of nasal endoscopic review. We investigated the correlation between operative effect and ostium grade, and further analyzed the key factors influencing these outcomes during postoperative personal care.
resultsThe results of correlation analysis between operative effect and objective indicators showed that the outcomes of lacrimal duct irrigation (r = 0.444, P < 0.001), dye disappearance test (r = 0.217, P = 0.036), and ostium grade (r = 0.350, P < 0.001) were positively correlated with the operative effect of patients. The analysis of influencing factors during postoperative nursing showed that patients with nasal saline rinsing at least once a day after operation, nasal spray (Xylometazoline Hydrochloride and Budesonide) at least once a day after operation and without postoperative respiratory tract infection had better ostium grades and operative effect (P < 0.05).
conclusionsThe early operative effect of endoscopic dacryocystorhinostomy (En-DCR) is closely related to the condition of the ostium. During postoperative personal care, patients who maintain nasal saline rinsing and nasal spray (Xylometazoline Hydrochloride and Budesonide) at least once a day and reasonably prevent respiratory tract infection tend to have better recovery of early postoperative ostium and better operative effect. Medical staff should strengthen the home nursing guidance for patients after En-DCR day surgery.
