Modified Infrabrow Blepharoplasty Incorporating Skin-Orbicularis Repositioning.
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
backgroundTreatment for upper eyelid dermatochalasis is commonly performed by an infrabrow blepharoplasty with an elliptical skin excision. However, this design has the drawback of causing abnormal skin wrinkles. Considering the pathophysiology of dermatochalasis of the upper eyelid, it is necessary to lift the lateral skin and orbicularis oculi muscle in a superior medial direction to achieve a satisfactory postoperative outcome. The author presents a modified infrabrow blepharoplasty incorporating skin-orbicularis repositioning.
methodsForty-one patients who underwent this surgical procedure and were followed for at least six months were retrospectively reviewed. The indication for the procedure was defined as cases where the levator muscle function was more than10 mm. Surgical outcomes were evaluated using the Strasser Grading System (SGS) based on photographs taken at 3 and 6 months postoperatively, and patient satisfaction was assessed at 6 months post-surgery using the questionnaire based on the evaluation of 6 items: infrabrow scar, difficulty closing the eyelids, ease of opening the eyelids, asymmetry in eyebrow height, skin overhanging the eyelashes and eyelid drooping.
resultsThe upper eyelid contour was smooth from the early postoperative period, and patients were satisfied with the results throughout the post operative follow-up period. Surgical scar assessment using the SGS at 6 months post-surgery showed a good to excellent result. The postoperative patient satisfaction with infrabrow scars and overall satisfaction showed satisfied results.
conclusionsThe modified infrabrow blepharoplasty is an effective method for severe upper eyelid skin laxity, which avoids the postoperative eyelid deformities observed with conventional infrabrow blepharoplasty.
