Preservation of the Palpebral Orbicularis Oculi Muscle in Transcutaneous Lower Blepharoplasty: A Modified Technique with Video Demonstration.
Article in Aesthetic plastic surgery, 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
backgroundTraditional transcutaneous lower blepharoplasty often compromises the orbicularis oculi muscle, raising risks of complications like ectropion.
objectiveTo evaluate the clinical outcomes of a modified transcutaneous lower blepharoplasty technique that preserves the palpebral orbicularis oculi muscle.
methodsA retrospective analysis was conducted on 65 patients who underwent this procedure between January and May 2024. Surgical outcomes, complications, and patient satisfaction were assessed.
resultsThe technique effectively improved lower eyelid bag deformity with high patient satisfaction, while avoiding damage to the orbicularis oculi muscle and related complications commonly seen in traditional surgeries.
conclusionsThe transcutaneous lower blepharoplasty with preservation of the palpebral orbicularis oculi muscle is a safe and effective surgical method, offering excellent aesthetic results, particularly for patients with lower eyelid skin laxity and orbital fat herniation.
