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
purposeThis study evaluates the effectiveness and clinical outcomes of subbrow blepharoplasty for treating upper eyelid skin fold due to mainly brow ptosis and lateral hooding in Caucasian patients with mild to moderate brow ptosis.
methodsBetween 2023 and 2024, 33 patients (25 female and 8 male, aged 47 to 71) underwent subbrow skin excision to address functional and cosmetic concerns. Six months post-procedure, we assessed patient satisfaction using a Likert-type scale and documented complications, scar visibility, and nerve-related symptoms to evaluate the procedure's outcomes.
resultsFeedback from patients revealed a high level of satisfaction with both functional and aesthetic results. Cases that emphasized functionality showed significant improvements in visual field metrics. Early complications following surgery were minimal, primarily limited to temporary redness and swelling. By the six-month follow-up, evident scarring was rare, and there were no reported cases of sensory deficits, lagophthalmos, or significant brow descent. Evaluations using a Likert scale indicated high satisfaction levels, with 25 patients (75.7%) reporting significant or considerable improvement.
conclusionsSubbrow blepharoplasty is an effective, minimally invasive procedure for addressing brow ptosis and lateral hooding in Caucasian patients. It boasts high satisfaction rates, minimal complications, and rarely results in visible scarring. These positive outcomes demonstrate its value as a preferred surgical option for patients seeking both functional and cosmetic improvements.
