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: Minimal access cranial suspension (MACS) lift is a well-established face lift technique commonly included in the facial plastic surgeon's armamentarium. It has consistently demonstrated safety and efficacy. The midface may also be addressed using various adjunctive maneuvers in combination with the MACS lift. The aim of this study was to evaluate the use of supraperiosteal midface lift via a subciliary incision with a 2-looped MACS lift. Methods: This retrospective case series included patients who underwent a MACS lift with 2 suspension purse-string loops, combined with upper and lower blepharoplasty and a supraperiosteal midface lift via a subciliary incision. Outcomes were evaluated by comparing the palpebromalar groove position before and after surgery. Patient satisfaction was measured at 6 weeks postoperatively using a 1-10 scale. Complications were documented during follow-up. Results: The study enrolled 25 patients. The palpebromalar groove position improved from a mean of 54 mm preoperatively to 62 mm postoperatively (mean improvement = 8 mm). Mean patient satisfaction was 8.96 on a 1-10 scale. Conclusions: Combining a supraperiosteal midface lift via a subciliary incision with a MACS lift proved safe and effective, resulting in a low complication rate and high patient satisfaction.
