Reduced Neutrophil-to-Eosinophil Ratio in Chronic Dacryocystitis: A Hematological Clue to Allergic Pathogenesis.
Article in Journal of ophthalmology, 2026. 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
Aim: To examine complete blood count parameters for differences in chronic dacryocystitis compared to controls, exploring their potential link to a possible allergic-inflammatory contribution in lacrimal surgery. Methods: This retrospective study included 190 adults aged 18-83 years who underwent external dacryocystorhinostomy (DCR) for primary acquired nasolacrimal duct obstruction (PANDO) with chronic dacryocystitis between January 2018 and June 2023. Preoperative peripheral blood samples were analyzed for leukocyte, neutrophil, platelet, eosinophil, and monocyte counts. Neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio (NLR), platelet-to-lymphocyte ratio (PLR), neutrophil-to-monocyte ratio (NMR), monocyte-to-lymphocyte ratio (MLR), and neutrophil-to-eosinophil ratio (NER) were calculated and compared with a control group consisting of age- and sex-matched healthy individuals who underwent routine ophthalmological examinations. Results: Eosinophil counts were significantly higher ( Conclusion: Elevated eosinophil levels and reduced NER suggest a possible allergic-inflammatory contribution to chronic dacryocystitis. NER may serve as a potential biomarker for identifying patients with an allergic-inflammatory profile; however, prospective studies are required to establish its clinical utility.
