Deciphering hemorrhagic risks in external dacryocystorhinostomy: a comprehensive analysis of associated factors.
Article 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 investigates the impact of herbs (Ginger, Garlic and Green tea) and perioperative factors on intraoperative and postoperative hemorrhage as well as ecchymosis in external dacryocystorhinostomy.
methodsThis was a case series study that included 50 external DCR procedures performed on adults. Patients' herbal use and other risk factors were questioned before the surgery. During the procedure, intraoperative hemorrhage volume and other parameters were documented. Postoperative hemorrhage and ecchymosis were evaluated on the day following the surgery. We used Regression analysis to assess the factors associated with hemorrhage complications in external DCR.
resultsThe average amount of intraoperative hemorrhage was 81.66 ml. Moderate to severe postoperative hemorrhage and ecchymosis occurred in 27.7 and 40.8% of cases, respectively. Upon conducting linear regression analysis, intraoperative MAP was the only factor associated with intraoperative hemorrhage. A significant association of ginger and intraoperative MAP with postoperative hemorrhage was revealed through multiple regression analysis. Additionally, the factors associated with postoperative ecchymosis were older age and urban residence.
conclusionsWe identified several factors associated with hemorrhage complications in external DCR procedure, including ginger use, intraoperative MAP, older age, and urban residence. Based on our findings that ginger intake before surgery can increase the hemorrhage risk, patients should be meticulously questioned about ginger use prior to external DCR and be recommended to cease its use.
