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
Background: Rhinoplasty, performed for aesthetic and functional purposes, is among the most common cosmetic procedures worldwide. While previous studies have investigated the impact of social media and self-esteem on cosmetic surgery motivations, comparisons between aesthetic and functional rhinoplasty candidates remain limited. This study evaluates the sociodemographic, psychological, and behavioral profiles of these groups, focusing on social media use and self-esteem. Methods: This cross-sectional study included 103 rhinoplasty candidates divided into 2 groups based on their primary motivation: functional (Group 1) or aesthetic (Group 2). Data were collected using a Sociodemographic Data Form, the Rosenberg Self-Esteem Scale (RSES), and the Bergen Social Media Addiction Scale (BSMAS). Statistical analyses included chi-square, Fisher's exact test, and Mann-Whitney U-tests. Results: Most participants (70.9%) sought rhinoplasty for aesthetic reasons. The median age of Group 2 (23.0) was significantly lower than that of Group 1 (29.5) (P < .001). Females and single individuals were more likely to seek aesthetic rhinoplasty (P < .001). Social media use, particularly Instagram, was significantly higher in Group 2; 53.4% spent over 3 hours daily on social media, compared to 10% in Group 1 (P < .001). Group 1 showed higher self-esteem scores than Group 2 (34.0 vs. 31.0, P < .001). Conclusion: Aesthetic rhinoplasty is associated with a younger age, female gender, lower self-esteem, and greater social media use. These findings emphasize the need for preoperative assessments addressing psychological vulnerabilities and social media influences to improve patient satisfaction and outcomes.
