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: This study sought to assess the safety, efficacy, and cosmetic outcomes of aesthetic deep orbital fat decompression for nonthyroidal proptosis. Methods: A retrospective review was conducted on 23 patients who underwent bilateral aesthetic deep orbital fat decompression at the Oculofacial Clinic Tokyo between 2022 and 2024. Preoperative and postoperative assessments included Hertel measurements, interpupillary distance, intraocular pressure, best corrected visual acuity, and fusion image area. Procedures were performed by senior attending surgeons, with outpatient follow-up conducted by attending physicians and clinical fellows. Results: The mean volume of resected fat was 3.0 ± 1.0 mL. Hertel measurements significantly decreased from 19.0 ± 2.7 to 16.7 ± 2.8 mm ( Conclusions: Aesthetic deep orbital fat decompression appeared to be a safe and effective procedure for congenital proptosis, achieving significant cosmetic and functional improvements. However, future prospective investigations are warranted to establish its long-term safety and efficacy.
