Endoscopic Gliding Forehead Lift: A Brow Shaping Method to Lift the Medial and Lateral Brow.
Article in Aesthetic plastic surgery, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
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
introductionThe gliding browlift has gained popularity as a technique to elevate the lateral brow. However, in many Asian patients, achieving the desired brow shape often necessitates lifting both the medial and lateral aspects. The endoscopic gliding forehead lift represents an evolution of the gliding browlift, tailored to address these specific anatomical and aesthetic considerations. This study aims to describe the surgical technique and evaluate objective outcomes of brow reshaping six months postoperatively.
methodsA retrospective study was performed on patients who underwent endoscopic gliding forehead lifts between July 2022 and June 2024. The surgical technique for the endoscopic gliding forehead lift is outlined in detail. Objective outcomes were assessed using measurements of the brow-to-pupil distance (BPD), brow-to-lateral canthus distance (BLCD) and brow-to-medial canthus distance (BMCD) preoperatively and at six months post-surgery.
resultsA total of 100 patients (200 eyebrows) were included in the study. The BPD increased from 19.0 [17.0, 21.0] mm preoperatively to 24.0 [22.0, 26.0] mm at six months postoperatively (p < 0.001). The BLCD increased from 21.0 [20.0, 23.0] mm preoperatively to 28.0 [27.0, 29.0] mm at six months postoperatively (p < 0.001). The BMCD increased from 18.0 [16.0, 20.0] mm to 21.0 [19.0, 23.0] mm at six months postoperatively (p < 0.001). No cases of hematoma or frontal branch of facial nerve palsy were observed in this study.
conclusionThe endoscopic gliding forehead lift is an effective technique for shaping and lifting both the medial and lateral brows.
