Clinical Application of the Percutaneous Orbital Fat Release Technique for Correcting Lower Eyelid Bags and Lacrimal Groove Deformities.
Article in Aesthetic plastic surgery, 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
backgroundSevere lower eyelid blepharoplasty complications and lacrimal groove deformities can significantly impact a person's overall appearance and well-being. Although various treatment methods exist, this article focuses on clinical research related to the surgical correction of lower eyelid blepharoplasty combined with lacrimal groove deformities.
objectiveTo retrospectively analyze the clinical efficacy of the percutaneous orbital fat release technique for correcting lower eyelid blepharoplasty combined with lacrimal groove deformity in 23 patients.
methodsThe patients in this study underwent a procedure in which an appropriate amount of skin was removed, and the orbital fat was secured to the distal fixed periosteum or the superficial layer of the periosteal fascia.
resultsThe patient satisfaction rate after surgery was 95.65%, and the improvement rate, according to the physician's evaluation, was 91.30%. The incidence of complications was 21.74%.A significant improvement in the tear trough deformity was observed at the 6-month post-operative follow-up compared to the pre-operative baseline, with a statistically significant difference
conclusionsThe transcutaneous orbital fat release technique significantly improves Barton grading scores at the 6-month post-operative follow-up, demonstrating clinical feasibility and favorable preliminary efficacy in correcting lower blepharochalasis associated with tear trough deformity. However, given the limitations of a small sample size and the lack of a parallel control group, its long-term stability and broader clinical generalizability warrant further validation through large-scale, high-quality studies.
