Corneal topographic changes after blepharoptosis surgery in patients with deepening of the upper eyelid sulcus.
Article in Japanese journal of ophthalmology, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 papers.
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.
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
purposeWe analyzed the corneal topography before and after blepharoptosis surgery and examined whether there was a difference in the corneal topographic changes with and without deepening of the upper eyelid sulcus (DUES). STUDY
designRetrospective study.
methodsA total of 23 eyes of 23 patients (6 men and 17 women) were enrolled in this study. The patients were divided into two groups according to the presence or absence of DUES, and their clinical characteristics were compared.
resultsThere were no significant differences between the DUES (n = 9) and non-DUES (n = 14) groups in any of the parameters examined before blepharoptosis surgery, including age, best-corrected visual acuity (BCVA), margin reflex distance-1 (MRD-1), spherical equivalent, average keratometry (AveK), cylindrical power (CYL), corneal higher order aberrations (HOAs) and central corneal thickness (CCT). In the non-DUES group, BCVA, spherical equivalent, AveK, CYL, and CCT were not significantly different between before and after surgery. On the other hand, in the DUES group, BCVA, spherical equivalent, and CCT were not significantly different before or after surgery, however, AveK, CYL and HOAs showed significant decreases after surgery. In addition, related to the post-surgical changes in CYL, the DUES group had a higher rate of reduced CYL.
conclusionIt is expected that in eyes with DUES blepharoptosis surgery can reduce AveK, CYL and HOAs in association with postoperative corneal flattening, and that will contribute to improvements in visual function.
