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

Cosmetic tourism and facial aesthetic procedures are increasing in popularity worldwide, with patients often seeking low-cost interventions abroad. Autologous fat transfer (AFT) is commonly performed for periorbital rejuvenation and carries a risk of rare but severe ophthalmic complications. We describe a case of unilateral visual loss following periorbital AFT, in which the underlying mechanism was scleral penetration leading to vitreous haemorrhage, retinal incarceration, and extraocular muscle entrapment. Surgical management with pars plana vitrectomy restored partial vision, although motility restriction persisted. To our knowledge, this is the first reported case of retinal incarceration caused by cosmetic AFT. This case highlights the need for careful technique, thorough patient counselling, and vigilant post-operative follow-up in cosmetic tourism.
