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 evaluate the surgical outcomes of lateral canthus reconstruction using vertical Z-plasty combined with canthoplasty and 5-fluorouracil (5-FU) injections in patients with post-surgical lateral canthal webbing.
methodsA retrospective review was conducted on 11 patients (17 eyelids) who underwent lateral canthal reconstruction between 2021 and 2024 due to post-surgical lateral canthal webbing. The technique involved vertical Z-plasty combined with canthopexy or canthoplasty, along with 5-FU injections in all cases.
resultsNo intraoperative complications were reported. During the follow-up period (mean 14 months; range 5-23 months), all cases showed significant improvement in lateral canthal webbing with no recurrence observed.
conclusionThe Z-plasty technique effectively corrected lateral canthal webbing without significant scarring. This method is particularly beneficial in patients with prior multiple surgeries, significant scarring, and vertical skin contraction. In cases with concurrent horizontal eyelid shortening, the technique was successfully combined with a periosteal flap to restore lower eyelid length.
