Effectiveness of comprehensive approach in rejuvenating the aging lower periorbita.
Article in International ophthalmology, 2024. 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 investigate the efficacy of a comprehensive surgical approach for rejuvenation of the aging lower periorbita.
methodsBetween February 2018 and January 2023, 80 eyes of 40 patients with lower lid dermatochalasis (LLD), lower lid laxity (LLL) or orbicularis laxity of the lower lid (OL) admitted to the oculoplastic surgery department of our clinic were included in the study. 18 eyes had LLD, 14 eyes had LLL, 18 eyes had LLD and LLL, and 30 eyes had LLD, LLL and OL. Patients were re-evaluated preoperatively, postoperatively at 1st week, 1st month and 6th month. In the LLD scoring, skin laxity was evaluated as 1 point for skin laxity, 2 points for fat prolapse, 3 points for tear trough deformity, 1 point for LLL and 1 point for OL. Patients with a total score below 3 points were defined as mild, and patients with a score of 3 and above were defined as advanced.
resultsOf the 40 patients, 30 were female (75%), 10 were male (25%) and the mean age was 56.7 years (45.67 years). Eighteen (22.5%) eyes underwent lower lid blepharoplasty (LLB) only, 14 (17.5%) eyes underwent lateral retinacular suspension (LRS) only, 18 (22.5%) eyes underwent LLB and LRS, 30 (37.5%) eyes underwent LLB, LRS and orbicularis muscle suspension (OMS).78 (97. 5 eyes with upper lid dermatochalasis underwent concomitant upper lid blepharoplasty (ULB) and 42 eyes (52.5%) with brow ptosis underwent additional browpexy. As a result of scoring, 34 eyes (42.5%) had mild and 46 eyes (57.5%) had severe lower periorbital aging. As a result of combined surgical treatments for each sign of aging of the lower periorbita in all patients, complications such as lid malpositioning, corneal exposure, orbital hemorrhage were not seen in any eye and surgical and cosmetic success was achieved.
conclusionIn patients with varying degrees of lower periorbital aging, a comprehensive surgical treatment can provide effective and safe results in rejuvenating the lower periorbital area. Additional treatments such as LRS and OMS have the advantage of providing a comprehensive approach to skin and muscle tightening while maintaining support to the lateral canthus and improving the lid-cheek junction.
