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

backgroundCosmetic dermatological procedures are increasingly popular worldwide, reflecting changing societal norms and technological advancements. This study aims to investigate the prevalence and patterns of cosmetic procedures in Jazan, Saudi Arabia, and to explore related demographic, psychological, and attitudinal factors.

methodsThis cross-sectional study involved 439 participants from Jazan. Data were collected using a structured questionnaire covering demographic characteristics, psychological and dermatological conditions, experiences with cosmetic procedures, and attitudes towards them. Descriptive statistics were used for data analysis.

resultsAmong the participants, 103 (23.5%) reported having undergone cosmetic dermatological procedures. The majority of these individuals were aged 18-30 years (394, 89.7%) and had attained a diploma or bachelor's degree (237, 54.0%). Satisfaction with procedures varied, with 12 (2.7%) dissatisfied and 52 (11.8%) satisfied. Future intentions to undergo cosmetic procedures were expressed by 62 (14.1%) of participants. Attitudes towards cosmetic procedures included concerns about unrealistic beauty standards (221, 50.5%) and perceptions of affluence (256, 58.3%).

conclusionsThe study reveals a notable prevalence of cosmetic procedures in Jazan, with younger and more educated individuals showing higher engagement. While satisfaction levels are generally positive, diverse attitudes reflect ongoing debates about beauty standards and societal impacts. These findings highlight the need for continued research and tailored public health strategies to address the evolving landscape of cosmetic dermatology in Saudi Arabia.
