Loss of vision post dacryocystectomy surgery.

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
Dacryocystectomy (DCT) is a relatively minor oculoplastic procedure with specific indications and remains a common lacrimal surgery in the Indian subcontinent. A 66-year-old hypertensive female with a mature cataract complained of painful vision loss on postoperative day 1 of DCT surgery. Visual acuity of nil light perception in the right eye with proptosis and limited extraocular motility was noted. Despite an urgent lateral canthotomy with cantholysis and intravenous steroid injection, there was no improvement in vision. Computed tomography of the orbits revealed an orbital hematoma on the right side with proptosis and optic nerve straightening. Orbital injury following a breach of the periorbita was deemed the probable cause. Vision loss due to orbital compartment syndrome is an uncommon but devastating complication following DCT surgery. Although DCT is considered to be a minor procedure, improper surgical technique and dissection may have catastrophic consequences.
