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
objectiveTo evaluate the clinical outcomes of a modified inverted 'L' epicanthoplasty combined with incisional blepharoplasty for correcting epicanthal folds and single eyelids in patients of Mongoloid descent.
methodsThis observational study included 100 female patients aged 20 to 38 years, who underwent the combined procedure from January 2018 to September 2024 at Ganzhou People's Hospital. The modified technique utilized a specific marking and incision approach to address the epicanthal folds and create a double eyelid, with an emphasis on minimizing scarring and optimizing aesthetic outcomes. Local anesthesia was used, followed by meticulous dissection, fixation of the medial canthal ligament, and careful skin closure. Postoperative care included pressure dressing and ice packs, with follow-up visits at 1 week, 1 month, and 3 months. The observed indexes included the total effectiveness rate, changes in palpebral fissure measurements, patient satisfaction, and the incidence of postoperative adverse events.
resultsThe overall effectiveness rate was 97.0%, with 60.0% of patients showing significant improvement and 37% achieving moderate outcomes. Three patients (3.00%) were dissatisfied with the outcomes. Postoperative palpebral fissure measurements showed significant improvement. Follow-up assessments indicated a high patient satisfaction rate of 97.0%, with minor complications in two cases, which were managed conservatively.
conclusionThe modified inverted 'L' epicanthoplasty combined with incisional blepharoplasty is an effective and aesthetically pleasing procedure for correcting epicanthal folds and creating double eyelids. Its simplicity, minimal scaring, and high patient satisfaction make it a valuable approach in oculoplastic surgery.
