The Influence of Image Exposure Duration on Facial Perception-Why It Matters.
Article in Journal of cosmetic dermatology, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
backgroundFirst impressions from faces, thought to serve an adaptive evolutionary role, vary by age and gender. Understanding gaze patterns is key to uncovering how these impressions form. Understanding facial gaze during brief (1 s) and longer (8 s) exposures helps identify key facial areas and behaviors, providing insights for better aesthetic assessment for non-invasive and surgical procedures to enhance outcomes and satisfaction.
aimsTo evaluate whether we perceive faces differently depending on the gaze duration.
methodsThe number of stable eye fixations (total fixation count) of n = 55 observers (34 females, 21 males) in seven facial regions of four visual stimulus images (young and old male and female) was analyzed using eye-tracking technology. The four visual stimulus images were presented to the observers twice in a randomized order with exposure times of 1 and 8 s.
resultsRegardless of age or sex of the face, fixation rankings followed similar patterns, with slight shifts between 1 and 8-s exposures. Age- and sex-specific analyses revealed gaze pattern differences.
conclusionA consistent facial scanning pattern, starting with central features (periorbital, nose, perioral) and expanding to cheeks, forehead, chin, and jawline, was observed regardless of the inspection time. However, longer image exposure shifts focus to regions more crucial for facial expressions, such as the perioral and forehead areas. This effect is especially visible for mature faces in which increased exposure time makes observer focus on the areas where age-related changes are most visible (i.e., perioral) and, on the other hand, possible to be corrected with injections.
