The Evolution of Aesthetic Medicine: Exploring the Intersection of Social Psychology, Technology, and Aesthetic Medicine.
Article in Aesthetic surgery journal. Open forum, 2025. 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
A wealth of information can be garnered from the face, such as current emotional state, perceived overall health, personality traits, and even attributed capabilities. It is well understood within aesthetic medicine that minimally invasive treatments positively influence how a patient feels about themselves from an emotional and physical standpoint; however, a growing body of literature suggests that facial aesthetic treatments can also impact how an individual is perceived by others. First impressions, which are formed within milliseconds of viewing a new face, allow us to intuit information about the person and anticipate their intentions. Multiple theories aim to explain why and how these initial social impressions are formed from relatively simple visual cues, and increasing evidence suggests that augmentation of facial appearance influences how others form first impressions. In this article, we discuss theories underlying the importance of first impressions and how minimally invasive aesthetic treatments can affect first impressions and social attributions. We also discuss how advancements in technology can enhance consultations and how technology may expand the world of aesthetic medicine to patients who had not previously considered engaging with aesthetic treatments.
