1 · What the graph read from it

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.

2 · The registry

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

In view of demographic changes in the population pyramid age structure an increase in eyelid malpositions such as ectropion is likely to occur. The surgical correction of ectropion requires a detailed knowledge of anatomical and pathophysiological factors to be able to effectively evaluate changes of the anterior and posterior lamellae with shortening, weakness, dehiscence and paralytic components. The choice of surgical procedure considering the age of the patient, genesis and the exact localization of the pathological change is of utmost importance in order to achieve ideal cosmetic and functional results.
