Margin rotation for tarsal buckling following ptosis surgery.
Article in International ophthalmology, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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 assess the clinical characteristics of tarsal buckling after ptosis correction and its management with margin rotation techniques.
methodsMulticenter retrospective review of ten patients who developed upper eyelid entropion following ptosis correction. In all cases the tarsal deformity was corrected with margin rotational procedures with either a lid crease anterior approach or a traditional posterior approach. Data collection included patient demographics, type of ptosis surgery, and photographic documentation of the affected eyelids.
resultsEntropion occurred after a variety of different ptosis surgery techniques, including frontalis sling, levator advancement and supramaximal levator resection. A horizontal tarsal fold was detected in all eyelids, being in the upper third of the tarsus in 70% and in the central tarsus in 20% of the cases. Tarsal buckling was corrected in all cases with rotational surgery, with nine cases being operated through an anterior lid crease approach and 1, through the traditional posterior approach. The most reported complication was minimal residual ptosis.
conclusionTarsal buckling following ptosis surgery is associated with folds located in the upper part of the tarsus. Margin rotation techniques are effective in restoring the natural position of the eyelid margin in these cases.
