1 · What the graph read from it

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.

2 · The registry

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

objectiveTo describe the epidemiology of childhood chalazion surgery under general anesthesia in China and identify factors associated with it.

methodThe authors conducted a hospital-based, multicenter, cross-sectional study using retrospective inpatient data from the Futang Updating Medical Records System from 2016 to 2022. The study included 117,009 children who underwent ophthalmic surgery under general anesthesia at 22 tertiary hospitals. Age, sex, surgical season, and geographic region were analyzed.

resultsOf 117,009 pediatric ophthalmic procedures performed under general anesthesia, 33,489 (28.62 %) were chalazion excisions. Annual proportions remained stable at 25-33%. Most children were 1 to 3 years old, with a mean age at surgery of 3.30 years. After adjustment, female residents in North China, and surgery in autumn or winter were each associated with higher odds of chalazion surgery under general anesthesia than their respective reference groups.

conclusionsChildhood chalazion surgery under general anesthesia accounted for a substantial share of pediatric ophthalmic surgical volume in this multicenter national cohort. The highest surgical burden was observed among toddlers, girls, children treated in North China, and those undergoing surgery in autumn and winter.
