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

backgroundWith the increase in demand for lip aesthetics and antiaging solutions, coupled with advancements in medical aesthetic technology and changing beauty trends, there has been a growing focus on refining specific facial features. However, significant differences exist in the aesthetic perceptions of lips between Chinese and Western populations, and limited research has been conducted on the aesthetic preferences and personalized lip design for Eastern individuals. Therefore, understanding public preferences is essential for developing tailored treatment approaches.

objectiveThis study aimed to investigate the characteristics of perioral concerns among Chinese population, summarize lip shapes and facial contours that correspond with Chinese aesthetic ideals, and propose methods for designing various lip shapes.

methodsAn online survey was conducted, distributing 1000 questionnaires to collect data on respondents' basic information, preferences for facial contours and lip shapes, and the most desired improvements in perioral issues. Statistical analysis was performed to identify the lip shapes and facial contours most aligned with Chinese aesthetics. Twelve senior plastic surgeons were invited to define aesthetic design and intervention principles for different facial contours.

resultsThe study identified five lip shapes and three facial contours that were considered aesthetically pleasing among Chinese population. For each of the five most popular lip shapes, five aesthetic intervention strategies were developed.

conclusionThe findings of this study provide insights into the aesthetic trends of lips and perioral areas among Chinese individuals, offering a reference for developing treatment plans focused on enhancing and rejuvenating these areas.
