Eyelid Laxity, Anthropometric, and Body Composition Parameters: Sex-Based Differences.
Article in The Eurasian journal of medicine, 2026. 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
backgroundThe physiopathology of eyelid aging (dermatochalasis) involves loss of collagen and elastin. However, few studies have assessed the relationship between anthropometric and body composition parameters and eyelid laxity. This study aimed to explore associations and sex differences between dermatochalasis and such parameters.
methodsA case series study of 58 patients with dermatochalasis along with a comparison group of 32 normal patients matched by age (50-65 years) and sex was conducted in the ophthalmic clinic of a university hospital. The measures were body mass index, arm circumference (AC), waist circumference, calf circumference (CC), arm muscle circumference (AMC), skin folds, fat mass, grip strength, and change in weight in the previous 5 years.
resultsMen with a lower CC (P = .042), AC (P = .044), and AMC (P = .023) were more likely to have dermatochalasis. A linear regression model revealed that patients with mild and moderate/severe degrees of dermatochalasis tended to have lower AMC (-2.34 cm, P = .049) and (-2.80 cm, P = .047), respectively. In women, a tendency toward a greater AMC (P = .054) was found in those with dermatochalasis, and gains of 5.66 mm in the suprailiac skinfold (P = .030) and 1.89 cm in the AMC (P = .047) were found in those with mild dermatochalasis.
conclusionAdequate muscle reserve might protect men from eyelid aging, but the same tendency was not confirmed in women. This suggests the use of the diagnosis of dermatochalasis as a proxy variable for the assessment of nutritional disorders in older men.
