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

Direct traumatic injury to the levator palpebrae superioris aponeurosis typically results in upper eyelid ptosis. The mechanisms can involve mechanical or neurogenic etiologies. Prompt surgical exploration and repair are required for restoration of normal function. In cases where prompt surgical intervention is not performed or the levator palpebrae superioris aponeurosis cannot be repaired, the restorative options are limited. The options are further restricted by concurrent ipsilateral frontalis paresis. This report details a spontaneous return of levator function nine months after complete traumatic transection of the levator palpebrae superioris aponeurosis complicated by concurrent ipsilateral frontalis paresis.
