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
backgroundAnti-aging in the lower eyelid-cheek junction area has always been the most widely sought cosmetic surgery. However, orbital fat removal or a midcheek fat pad lift alone does not achieve the best results. This study describes a new technique of lower blepharoplasty combined with a midcheek lift performed using a polydioxanone barbed suture loop based on the entire anatomy of the lower eyelid-cheek junction area.
methodsWe report our experience with lower blepharoplasty combined with a midcheek lift, covering 38 procedures performed over the past 3 years. We reviewed the technique and results and described the various indications for which the new technique is suitable. The efficacy of the surgeries was delineated using both 3D volume calculation and graphic pictures.
resultsAll patients demonstrated significant rejuvenation of the lower eyelid with the elimination of the eyebags, elevation of the lid-cheek junction, and improvement of the nasolabial folds. All the patients were satisfied with the procedure. Complication rates were low, and lower lid retraction temporarily occurred in 3% of patients.
conclusionsThis new method of lower blepharoplasty with midcheek elevation is safe, effective, convenient, and long-lasting. The technique is more doctor-friendly, recovery is quick, and complications are minimized. LEVEL OF EVIDENCE IV: This journal requires that authors assign a level of evidence to each article.
