Transconjunctival Lower Eyelid Blepharoplasty with Orbital Fat Repositioning and Orbicularis Oculi Muscle Suspension.
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
objectiveTo evaluate the therapeutic effect of transconjunctival orbital fat repositioning and orbicularis oculi muscle plication and suspension surgery in patients with lower eyelid aging characterized by lower eyelid bags and tear trough deformities without significant skin laxity.
methodsThis study enrolled patients with lower eyelid bags and tear trough deformities. All patients underwent orbital fat repositioning and orbicularis oculi muscle plication and suspension using a transconjunctival approach. Surgical outcomes were assessed based on surgery duration, pain scores, Allergan grading, and patient satisfaction. Additionally, soft tissue changes were evaluated using ultrasonographic imaging.
resultsA total of 40 patients were included in this study. Surgical duration ranged from 28 to 49 min, with intraoperative pain scores between 2 and 4. Ultrasonographic assessment revealed that soft tissue thickness between the skin and the infraorbital rim reached the maximum at 5 days postoperatively, gradually decreasing over time. At 6 months postoperatively, soft tissue thickness remained significantly greater than preoperative levels (P < 0.05). Age group analysis revealed that the 30-40-year-old group exhibited the greatest difference in Allergan scores between postoperative and preoperative periods (P < 0.05). Patient satisfaction 6 months postoperatively was 96.6%.
conclusionTransconjunctival lower eyelid blepharoplasty with orbital fat repositioning and orbicularis oculi muscle suspension is an effective surgical approach for correcting lower eyelid bags and tear trough deformities in young and middle-aged patients without significant skin laxity.
