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

backgroundBlepharoptosis operations are performed under local anaesthesia, and it is necessary to determine the location where the levator aponeurosis is fixed to the tarsus by checking opening and closing of the eyelids during surgery. Changes in posture during the operation affect the facial condition in various ways. This study was performed to clarify the differences in palpebral fissure height according to intraoperative head position.

methodsSixty subjects (48 women and 12 men aged 20-76 years) were enrolled in the study. The palpebral fissure height of the dominant eye was measured in the head-neutral position and 30° head-down position.

resultsThe total fissure height in the 30° head-down position was lower than that in the head-neutral position.

conclusionsThe head-down position affects the patient's fissure height and may mislead the operator. Blepharoptosis operation under local anaesthesia should be performed with the patient in the head-neutral position.
