Surgical outcome of a transposed lateral pendular flap for the reconstruction of medial and central lower lid defects.
Article in International journal of ophthalmology, 2025. 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
aimTo evaluate the outcome and the degree of patient satisfaction with the reconstruction of full-thickness medial and central lower lid defects using a pendular flap of the remaining lateral part of the lower lid.
methodsTotally 20 patients with full thickness medial or central lower lid defects that could not be repaired by direct closure with or without cantholysis. A sliding full-thickness composite flap was created from the lateral part of the remaining lid to cover the defect. The posterior lamella of the induced lateral defect was repaired by either a periosteal flap alone or in combination with a free tarsal graft. Postoperative cosmetic and functional outcomes were evaluated.
resultsThe mean age of the patients was 46.3±18.1y (20-70y). The defects ranged from 30%-80% of the lid width and resulted from the excision of lid tumors in 11 patients (55%) and from trauma in 9 (45%) patients. Postoperative complications included one case of lateral graft ectropion, 2 cases of lid retraction and 3 cases of marginal graft necrosis. Most of the patients had an acceptable final cosmetic outcome.
conclusionReconstruction of moderate-sized defects in the medial/central lower lid
