1 · What the graph read from it

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.

2 · The registry

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

backgroundEpiblepharon is characterized by a fold of skin that stretches horizontally across the upper or lower eyelid and is usually associated with eyelash inversion. Upper eyelid epiblepharon is relatively rare and is treated with double-eyelid surgery using a buried suture or an incisional method. To date, no reports have described a detailed treatment course for epiblepharon that simultaneously achieves aesthetic improvement and corrects eyelash inversion. CASE PRESENTATIONS: We present the treatment outcomes of two cases of upper eyelid epiblepharon with excess skin in a 16-year-old female adolescent patient and a 35-year-old women, both treated with incisional double-eyelid surgery combined with skin excision. In both patients, eyelash inversion was corrected, double eyelids were formed, and aesthetic improvements were made.

conclusionsBy accurately performing appropriate skin excision and suture placement to create double eyelids, a functionally and aesthetically satisfactory surgical outcome can be achieved in patients with upper eyelid epiblepharon.
