Article in Plastic and reconstructive surgery. Global open, 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
Background: Lower eyelid bags and periorbital dynamic rhytides are common manifestations of periocular aging in middle-aged and older adult patients seeking aesthetic improvement. Although lower eyelid blepharoplasty corrects bag deformity, its interplay with preoperative dynamic rhytides remains understudied. This retrospective cohort study compares surgical outcomes following lower eyelid blepharoplasty in patients with varying severities of preoperative periorbital dynamic rhytides and to assess differences in treatment efficacy. Methods: This retrospective study analyzed 56 patients (112 eyes) undergoing transcutaneous lower eyelid blepharoplasty. Patients were stratified into group A (n = 32, severe dynamic rhytides) and group B (n = 24, mild dynamic rhytides) based on the preoperative Lemperle Wrinkle Scale. Postoperative outcomes were evaluated at 1-month and 1-year intervals using Barton and Hirmand grading systems to quantify infraorbital rejuvenation. Secondary endpoints included complication rates and patient satisfaction. Results: At 1-year follow-up, group A (severe rhytides) showed significantly less improvement in infraorbital contour than group B (mild rhytides) based on standardized grading systems ( Conclusions: The severity of preoperative periorbital dynamic rhytides is associated with less favorable aesthetic outcomes in infraorbital contour after lower eyelid blepharoplasty and predicts lower patient satisfaction. However, it does not increase surgical risks. Preoperative assessment of wrinkle severity should be integrated into surgical planning and patient counseling to optimize expectations.
