Aesthetic and functional outcomes following reconstruction of full-thickness lower eyelid defects using Hughes flap and orbicularis oculi muscle flap: A case series study.

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
Reconstruction of full-thickness lower eyelid defects remains a clinical challenge due to the aesthetic and functional demands of the periorbital region lower eyelid. Reconstruction using a Hughes flap for the posterior lamella and orbicularis oculi muscle flap for the anterior lamella following malignant tumor excision has not been sufficiently detailed in the literature. We therefore retrospectively evaluated the outcomes of seven patients who underwent this technique, including assessment by photographic analysis and ophthalmological evaluations at least 6 months postoperatively. Eyelid morphology was quantitatively evaluated by measuring Margin Reflex Distance (MRD)-1, MRD-2, eyelid curvature, Δpeak-pupil distance, and horizontal palpebral fissure length using Image J software. Ocular surface condition was assessed by tear break-up time (BUT), superficial punctate keratopathy (SPK) scoring, and Japanese Ocular Surface Disease Index. The median age of patients was 76 years, and basal cell carcinoma was the most common diagnosis. MRD-1 and Δpeak-pupil were significantly increased after surgery (
