Resource utilization and outcomes of inpatient eyelid reconstruction in facial palsy patients: A 20-year HCUP-NIS study.
Article in JPRAS 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: Facial palsy-related lagophthalmos can threaten ocular surface integrity and may require surgical eyelid management. Methods: We conducted a retrospective cross-sectional analysis of adult inpatients in the Healthcare Cost and Utilization Project National/Nationwide Inpatient Sample from 2002 to 2021 with facial nerve disorder diagnosis codes and concurrent ICD-coded eyelid procedures. Demographics, hospital characteristics, length of stay, discharge disposition, charges, complications, comorbidity burden, and age- and income-stratified differences were analyzed. Results: We identified 1,839 inpatients with a median age of 60 years; 48.0% were female. Median length of stay was 4 days, median charges were $48,696, and patients underwent a mean of 4.96 coded procedures per admission. Complications were coded in 26.7% of cases. Older patients had longer hospitalizations, greater comorbidity burden, and higher complication rates, but lower median charges. Among patients with available income data, low- and high-income groups had similar length of stay and charges, despite differences in race, payer status, and geographic distribution. Conclusions: Inpatients with facial nerve disorders undergoing ICD-coded eyelid reconstruction represented a medically complex cohort with substantial hospital utilization and frequent coded complications.
