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

objectiveTo observe the clinical effect between orbital septum incision and classical incision of double eyelid plasty.

methodsWe retrospectively analyzed 381 patients who underwent double eyelid blepharoplasty in the Department of Plastic and Laser Cosmetology of Hunan Provincial People's Hospital from January 2019 to December 2019. The patients were divided into two groups according to different surgical methods: group A (n = 146) received the classical method and group B (n = 235) received the orbital septum method. The incidence of early postoperative complications, scar depression from 6 months to 1 year after the operation, the condition of 'meat strip' (the accumulation of soft tissue in front of the tarsal plate after double eyelid surgery, including skin, muscle, and fascia fat, results in a hypertrophic appearance of the upper eyelid) below the double eyelid line, and the symmetry of double eyelids were analyzed and evaluated.

resultsThe total number of early postoperative complications in group A was seven cases (incidence rate: approximately 4.80%), and the total number of early postoperative complications in group B was two cases (incidence rate: approximately 0.85%), with a statistically significant difference (P < 0.05). The degree of scar depression in group B was significantly lighter than that in group A from 6 months to 1 year after the operation (P < 0.05). The score of 'meat strip' below the double eyelid line in group B was significantly lighter than that in group A (P < 0.05). The symmetry of double eyelids in group B was better than that in group A (P < 0.05)

conclusionCompared to the classical double eyelid method, the orbital septum method has the advantages of reducing early postoperative complications, reducing the severity of the scar, slighting the 'meat strip,' and improving symmetry, which results in higher postoperative satisfaction LEVEL OF EVIDENCE III: This journal requires that authors assign a level of evidence to each article.
