1 · What the graph read from it

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.

2 · The registry

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

Purpose: Periorbital aging commonly presents with upper eyelid laxity and brow descent. Sub-brow blepharoplasty is a promising surgical intervention to address these concerns. This study aimed to evaluate both morphological and psychological outcomes of sub-brow blepharoplasty in a Chinese population. Methods: Sixty-four patients undergoing sub-brow blepharoplasty at the Plastic Surgery Department of Guizhou Medical University (January 2022-October 2023) were enrolled. All surgeries were performed by the same surgeon. Standardized follow-ups occurred postoperatively at T1 (immediately), T2 (1 month), and T3 (6 months), with preoperative evaluation at T0. Morphological changes were assessed through standardized photography, measuring brow, eyelid, and canthal positions. Psychological outcomes were assessed using the Social Appearance Anxiety Scale (SAAS). Patient satisfaction was recorded at final follow-up. Results: Of the 64 patients, 49 (98 eyes) completed all follow-ups (mean follow-up: 7.5 months; follow-up rate: 76.56%). Significant improvements were observed in all morphological indices and SAAS scores postoperatively ( Conclusion: Sub-brow blepharoplasty significantly improves eyebrow position, facial aesthetics, and reduces social appearance anxiety with high patient satisfaction and minimal risk.
