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: Upper eyelid hollowing is a common manifestation of periorbital aging caused by soft-tissue atrophy and loss of orbital fat volume. Although various corrective techniques have been described, outcome assessment remains largely subjective. High-resolution ultrasonography may provide an objective and quantitative method for evaluating postoperative soft-tissue changes. Objective: The present study aimed to evaluate the effectiveness and stability of combined orbital fat repositioning and microfragmented autologous fat grafting for the correction of moderate upper eyelid hollowing, using high-resolution ultrasonography as an objective assessment tool. Methods: A prospective study was conducted in 35 female patients (70 upper eyelids), aged 40-65 years, with moderate upper eyelid hollowing (Park grade II). All patients underwent combined orbital fat pad repositioning with supplemental microfragmented autologous fat grafting. High-resolution ultrasonography was performed preoperatively and at 1, 3, and 6 months postoperatively to measure the space anterior to the upper eyelid skin (D1) and upper eyelid thickness (D2). Clinical outcomes and patient satisfaction were also evaluated. Results: he mean preoperative hollowing depth was 5.88 ± 0.85 mm, and the mean grafted fat volume was 1.09 ± 0.29 mL. Postoperative ultrasonography demonstrated a significant decrease in D1 and a significant increase in D2 at all postoperative time points compared with baseline (all p < 0.05). No statistically significant differences were observed between the 3- and 6-month follow-up periods (p > 0.05), indicating stabilization of outcomes after 3 months. Overall patient satisfaction was 97.14%. No major complications were observed. Conclusion: Combined orbital fat repositioning and microfragmented autologous fat grafting is a safe and effective technique for correcting moderate upper eyelid hollowing. High-resolution ultrasonography provides an objective, reproducible, and clinically applicable method for postoperative outcome assessment.
