Abstract: Let $Lambd{a}^{pm}=Lambd{a}^{+}cupLambd{a}^{-}subset(mathbb{R}^3,x{i}_{std})$ be a contact surgery diagram determining a closed, connected contact $3$-manifold $(S_{Lambd{a}^{pm}}^3,x{i}_{Lambd{a}^{pm}})$ and an open contact manifold $(mathbb{R}_{Lambd{a}^{pm}}^3,x{i}_{Lambd{a}^{pm}})$. Following arXiv:0911.0026 and arXiv:1906.07228 we demonstrate how $Lambd{a}^{pm}$ determines a family $alph{a}_{epsilon}$ of contact forms on $(mathbb{R}_{Lambd{a}^{pm}}^3,x{i}_{Lambd{a}^{pm}})$ whose closed Reeb orbits are in one-to-one correspondence with cyclic words of composable Reeb chords on $Lambd{a}^{pm}$. We compute the homology classes and integral Conley-Zehnder indices of these orbits diagrammatically and develop algebraic tools for studying holomorphic curves in surgery cobordisms between the $(mathbb{R}_{Lambd{a}^{pm}}^3,x{i}_{Lambd{a}^{pm}})$. These new techniques are used to describe the first known examples of closed, tight contact manifolds with vanishing contact homology. They are contact $frac1k$ surgeries along the right-handed, $tb=1$ trefoil for $k>0$, which are known to have non-zero Heegaard-Floer contact classes by arXiv:math/0404135.
