Age-Related Variations in Reoperation Risk from Suture Loosening in Two-Point Buried Suture Double Eyelid Surgery: A Stratified Retrospective Cohort Analysis.
Article in Aesthetic plastic surgery, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
backgroundBuried suture double-eyelid surgery is a popular minimally invasive technique used in East Asia. However, suture loosening and crease loss remain the common reasons for reoperation. The impact of patient age on surgical stability remains unclear. This study aimed to evaluate the age-related risk of reoperation due to suture loosening in patients undergoing two-point buried suture double-eyelid surgery.
methodsThis retrospective cohort study was conducted using 600 randomly selected cases (100 per age group: < 20, 20-29, 30-39, 40-49, 50-59, ≥ 60 years) from a national dataset of 52,281 procedures. The primary outcome was reoperation due to suture loosening. Analyses performed included chi-square tests, Kaplan-Meier curves, and multivariable Cox regression.
resultsReoperation occurred in 134 patients (22.3%), with the highest rate in the < 20 age group (41%) and the lowest rate in the 30-39 age group (12%) (p < 0.001). Cox analysis showed significantly increased hazard ratios (HR) in the < 20 group (HR: 1.91, 95% CI: 1.13-3.23), while the ≥ 60 group showed a non-significant trend (HR: 1.34, p = 0.327). All-cause reoperations followed a similar pattern.
conclusionsReoperation risk varied significantly with age, with younger and older patients being more prone to crease failure. Age-specific surgical planning and consideration of anatomical factors are essential to improving long-term outcomes.
