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
purposeThe study aims to examine an incidence and risk factors of severe corneal involvement in patients with congenital lower eyelid epiblepharon.
methodsThis retrospective, observational study included 509 patients (933 eyes) with congenital lower eyelid epiblepharon. Data on age, sex, affected side, past history, past surgery, presence or absence of concomitant periocular/ocular diseases, body height and weight, astigmatic power, and corneal involvement were collected. Severe corneal involvement included corneal scarring, vascularization, and perforation.
resultsSevere corneal involvement was found in 30 patients (5.9%) (34 eyes, 3.6%). Corneal scarring and perforation with scarring were shown in 29 patients (33 eyes) and 1 patient (1 eye), respectively. Nine patients (12 eyes) demonstrated concomitant corneal vascularization with corneal scarring. Logistic regression analysis showed that body mass index had an odds ratio of 1.057 (P = 0.078). Age and sex did not affect occurrence of severe corneal involvement (P > 0.050).
conclusionsIn this study, 5.9% of patients showed severe corneal involvement in congenital lower eyelid epiblepharon. Logistic regression analysis indicates that a high body mass index was a possible risk factor of severe corneal involvement caused by congenital lower eyelid epiblepharon.
