Optimizing Endo-DCR Outcomes in Traumatic Nasolacrimal Duct Obstruction.
Article in Clinical ophthalmology (Auckland, N.Z.), 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
Purpose: We evaluated the clinical value of computed tomography dacryocystography with multiplanar reconstruction (CT-DCG-MPR) in assisting endoscopic dacryocystorhinostomy (Endo-DCR) for traumatic nasolacrimal duct obstruction (NLDO). Patients and Methods: We retrospectively analyzed 16 patients (18 eyes) with traumatic NLDO who were treated between April 2019 and November 2021. All patients underwent CT-DCG-MPR and Endo-DCR. Patient demographics, fracture patterns, and surgical outcomes were analyzed. Results: The cohort had a mean age of 41.2 ± 12.3 years, and 62.5% were male. Traffic accidents were the predominant injury mechanism (81.3%). Naso-orbito-ethmoidal (NOE) fractures were the most common type. CT-DCG-MPR showed a 94.7% correlation with intraoperative findings. Endo-DCR achieved 94.4% anatomical success and 88.9% functional success, with significant symptom improvement ( Conclusion: The lacrimal sac-nasolacrimal duct junction was the most frequent site of obstruction or fracture in traumatic NLDO. CT-DCG-MPR-guided Endo-DCR is highly effective for traumatic NLDO, providing precise preoperative planning and excellent long-term outcomes.
