Ectopic dacryops mimicking a lacrimal sac tumor: A case report and literature review.
Article in American journal of ophthalmology case reports, 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
Purpose: To report a rare case of dacryops found within the lacrimal sac, which mimicked a lacrimal sac tumor. Observations: An adult female patient presented with epiphora and chronic swelling of the lacrimal sac, initially raising concerns for a possible lacrimal sac tumor. Imaging revealed a well-defined cystic lesion with a patent lacrimal drainage system. Histopathological examination confirmed the presence of a lacrimal gland cyst (dacryops) within the lacrimal sac. Conclusions and importance: This case highlights the rare occurrence of lacrimal gland tissue within the lacrimal sac, a location that has eluded prior definitive descriptions in the literature. Recognition of this condition is crucial for appropriate diagnosis and management, as it can mimic more serious pathologies such as a lacrimal sac tumor.
