Brow Fat Transposition for Reconstruction of Hollowing After Dermoid Cyst Excision on the Outer Upper Eyelid in a Young Woman: A Case Report.
Article in Cureus, 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
Periocular hollowing following tumor excision presents unique reconstructive challenges, particularly in young patients, as the literature on post-excisional reconstruction remains limited compared with that on age-related volume loss. We report the case of a 13-year-old female who presented with a dermoid cyst in the right upper eyelid causing mechanical ptosis. Following complete excision, a significant hollow developed at the surgical site. A single-stage reconstruction was performed using a pedicled brow fat (retro-orbicularis oculi fat) flap transposition to address the volume deficit. At the 18-month follow-up, excellent contour restoration and symmetry were achieved without complications. This case highlights that brow fat transposition offers a reliable, single-stage reconstructive option for upper eyelid hollowing following tumor excision, providing stable autologous volume augmentation with favorable aesthetic outcomes in young patients.
