Morphological changes after lower eyelid epiblepharon surgery in Asian children.
Article in BMC ophthalmology, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
backgroundThis study aimed to determine the morphological changes in Asian lower eyelid epiblepharon patients after surgery.
methodsThe medical records of 59 patients who underwent lower eyelid epiblepharon repair were reviewed retrospectively. Eighty-nine patients who underwent strabismus surgery were set as the control group. The photographs for each group were analyzed based on the following factors: inferior half area (IHA) of the eye, eyelash angular direction (EAD), angle between the eyelashes and the cornea, marginal reflex distance 1 (MRD
resultsAfter surgery, the medial EAD changed from 92.45° ± 20.21° (mean ± SD) to 79.43° ± 23.31°, while the central and lateral EADs were unchanged. IHA increased from 36.33 ± 9.78 mm
conclusionsThere is morphological changes of the eyelid after lower eyelid epiblepharon surgery, with increases in the IHA and MRD
