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

Objective: To evaluate an modified epicanthoplasty which can reduce epicanthic scar in blepharoplasty with mild to moderate epicanthus, by using upper eyelid rotation flap via blepharoplasty incision. Methods: A clinical data of 34 patients with mild and moderate epicanthus (trial group), who were treated with blepharoplasty and epicanthoplasty by using upper eyelid rotation flap, between July 2016 and October 2017, was retrospectively analyzed. And 38 patients who were treated with blepharoplasty and epicanthoplasty by using traditional "Z" plastic method were recruited as control group. There was no significant difference in age and degree of epicanthus between 2 groups ( Results: All incisions of 2 groups healed by first intention, and all patients were followed up 6 months. The epicanthi of 2 groups were significantly corrected. The inner canthus of trial group had no incision; and there were scars at inner canthus of control group, with obvious hyperplasia in 6 cases. The improvement degree of the length of palpebral fissure in trial group and control group were 3.63%±0.07%, 3.70%±0.05% and 4.64%±0.09%, 4.46%±0.10% at 6 days and 6 months after operation, respectively. There was no significant difference between 2 groups ( Conclusion: The modified epicanthoplasty by using upper eyelid rotation flap via blepharoplasty incision can significantly reduce epicanthic scar with simple operation and satisfactory effectiveness.
