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

backgroundSurgical correction of bilateral cicatricial upper and lower eyelid ectropion in an ichthyosis patient remains a challenge in clinical practice. MAIN OBSERVATIONS: A 24-year-old female patient presented to our clinic with bilateral upper and lower eyelid ectropion. Her skin over her entire body and face was dry and scaly. The diagnosis was cicatricial ectropion related in a patient with ichthyosis. The upper eyelids were treated by retroauricular full thickness skin grafts and upper eyelid lateral tarsal strip procedure. And lower eyelids were treated by cheek transposition grafts and lower eyelid lateral tarsal strip procedure. The upper and lower eyelids were corrected successfully with these surgical procedures.

conclusionsIn patients with ichthyosis skin alterations in the eyelid cause shortening of the anterior lamella, subsequently resulting with ectropion. Successful surgical correction with skin grafts or transposition flaps can be performed to lenghten anterior lamella. Adding lateral tarsal strip procedure to skin grafting helps to maintain a beter lid margin apposition.
