Defining Ideal Medial Canthi via a Morphometric Analysis in Chinese.
Article in Aesthetic plastic surgery, 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
backgroundMedial canthi play a crucial role in Chinese facial aesthetics, influencing the perception of eye shape and overall facial attractiveness. However, the aesthetic value of medial canthic folds has often been overlooked.
methodsAn online survey was conducted from March to May 2024, involving 352 participants from China. Participants rated the attractiveness of 21 images with varying medial canthi coverage and eyelid morphologies. Demographic data, including age, gender, profession, makeup habits, and cosmetic surgery experience, were collected. Multiple linear regression was used to identify factors influencing medial canthi preferences.
resultsThe survey revealed a preference for partially or mostly exposed, horizontally aligned medial canthi. Gender significantly influenced scores for out-fold double eyelids (β = - 0.189, p = 0.013), fully exposed medial canthi (β = - 0.362, p < 0.001), and downward slanting medial canthi (β = - 0.212, p = 0.006). Age impacted all types (p < 0.001), and occupation and cosmetic habits influenced preferences for fully exposed and fully closed medial canthi.
conclusionsDifferent demographic groups prefer mostly and partially exposed horizontal medial canthi. The findings highlight the importance of preserving natural medial canthi characteristics in Chinese facial aesthetics.
