Evaluation of 25-Hydroxyvitamin D levels in patients with dermatochalasis.
Article in International ophthalmology, 2023. 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
purposeTo compare serum 25-hydroxyvitamin D (25(OH)D) levels of patients with dermatochalasis who underwent upper lid blepharoplasty and healthy controls.
methodsThis retrospective comparative study included dermatochalasis patients who underwent upper lid blepharoplasty and age-and sex-matched controls from January 2019 to January 2021. The data, including comprehensive ophthalmological examination, internal medicine outpatient examination, and laboratory results of the dermatochalasis patients and healthy controls, were collected from the electronic patient records. Serum 25(OH)D, creatinine, calcium (Ca), phosphate (P), triglyceride (TG), low-density lipoprotein (LDL), and high-density lipoprotein (HDL) levels were evaluated and compared between the dermatochalasis patients and healthy controls.
resultOf our participants, consisting of 46 patients with dermatochalasis and 52 healthy controls, 54 (55.10%) were female and 44 (44.90%) were male. A statistically significant difference was observed in vitamin D levels between the healthy and dermatochalasis groups (p ≤ 0.001). The percentage of individuals with vitamin D deficiency (< 20 ng/mL) was significantly higher in the dermatochalasis group (p = 0.001). In addition, the percentage of individuals with severe vitamin D deficiency (< 10 ng/mL) was again significantly higher in the dermatochalasis group (p = 0.001). The risk of dermatochalasis incidence was found to increase in cases of low vitamin D (OR = 1.210; p = 0.017).
conclusionLow serum 25(OH)D levels may play a role in the etiopathogenesis of dermatochalasis. Future research should include longitudinal studies and prospective clinical studies to investigate the mechanism responsible for the low vitamin D observed in dermatochalasis patients.
