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
Background: We compared two endoscopic brow lift fixation techniques in a 2023 randomized clinical trial: bone tunnel fixation versus temporary tape fixation. The primary objective was to evaluate the stability of the brow lift over time. Methods: Patients were randomly assigned to either the bone tunnel group or the tape fixation group, where a mesh tape was secured to the scalp and removed 7-10 days post-surgery. In total, 36 individuals participated in the study, including 18 patients in the Taping group and 18 patients in the Bony Fixation group. Pre-operative eyebrow measurements were taken, and patients were followed up at one and nine months to assess outcomes. Results: While the bone tunnel technique required a significantly longer surgical time, it was more effective at maintaining the brow lift in both the medial and lateral regions of the eyebrow after nine months. Complication rates were similar between the two groups. Conclusion: Bone tunnel fixation provides superior long-term stability for endoscopic brow lift compared to temporary tape fixation, despite the longer procedure duration. Further research with extended follow-up is recommended to confirm long-term outcomes.
