Safety and Complications in Lower Eyelid Blepharoplasty: A Systematic Review.
Article in Plastic and reconstructive surgery. Global open, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 papers.
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
Background: Lower blepharoplasty is one of the most commonly performed aesthetic procedures in the United States. Although lower blepharoplasty techniques have evolved significantly, it remains a considerable surgical challenge, associated with many aesthetic and functional complications. This review aimed to elucidate the safety and complication profiles of lower blepharoplasty. Methods: A comprehensive review of the literature was performed using PubMed/MEDLINE, Embase, and Cochrane databases to identify studies that report the complication profiles of lower blepharoplasty techniques. Results: A total of 36 articles meeting inclusion criteria and critically evaluating lower blepharoplasty and its associated complications were analyzed and discussed. Conclusions: This review reports the overall safety and low complication profile associated with lower blepharoplasty. No major complications resulting in ocular and visual disturbances are reported, and the majority of complications resulting in functional and aesthetic concerns can be resolved with conservative management or revisionary surgery. More rigorous studies are needed to more critically assess and compare the various surgical techniques.
