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
We aimed to compare surgical outcomes between the Jones and Wies procedures with a lateral tarsal strip (JP + LTS and WP + LTS, respectively) for involutional entropion repair. This retrospective, interventional, comparative study included 155 patients (unilateral: 126; bilateral: 29) with involutional entropion who underwent JP + LTS (58 eyes) or WP + LTS (126 eyes). A successful outcome was defined as a normal eyelid position at last follow-up without requiring reoperation. The mean follow-up duration was 37.3 months (median: 26.5 months; range: 6-178 months). Average operating room times per eye were 68.1 ± 26.3 (WP + LTS) and 82.8 ± 27.7 (JP + LTS) min (p = 0.001). After primary entropion repair, recurrence occurred in 11 but ectropion in 4 eyes. Success rates were 91.4% (JP + LTS) and 92.0% (WP + LTS) (p = 1.000). Kaplan-Meier analysis demonstrated success rates of 93.6%, 92.7%, and 90.0% at 1.5, 3, and 5 years, respectively. Trainees performing JP + LTS had a significantly lower success rate than consultants (adjusted hazard ratio: 0.10, p = 0.049). Therefore, both JP + LTS and WP + LTS achieved acceptable long-term success rates for involutional lower eyelid entropion repair; however, WP + LTS involved a shorter operating room time and presence of meibomian gland dysfunction. The success rate of JP + LTS was higher when performed by experienced surgeons.
