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
backgroundThe perception of facial beauty is shaped by a dynamic interplay of cultural, generational, and media-driven influences. Despite growing interest in aesthetic standards worldwide, there is a lack of data on facial beauty preferences within the Moroccan population.
objectiveThis study aims to identify the facial features considered most attractive by Moroccan individuals and to examine how these preferences vary across age, gender, and geographic region.
methodsA cross-sectional survey was conducted among 1000 Moroccan participants using digitally modified, hand-drawn anatomical portraits. Each image represented a variation within ten distinct facial units, including face shape, forehead, eyebrows, eyes, nose, cheeks, lips, chin, jawline, and neck. Participants selected their preferred option for each unit. Chi-square tests were used to analyze statistically significant associations between demographic variables and aesthetic choices (p < 0.05).
resultsThe oval face shape, balanced vertical thirds, slightly prominent forehead, arched eyebrows, and positively tilted eyes were the most preferred features. Participants also favored a concave nasal dorsum with a rounded tip, moderately filled cheeks, well-defined and voluminous lips with symmetrical projection, a moderately projected chin, a well-defined jawline, and a long neck with an acute cervico-facial angle. While overarching trends were consistent, statistically significant variations were observed by age and region, underscoring Morocco's internal aesthetic diversity.
conclusionMoroccan facial beauty preferences largely align with globalized aesthetic norms while preserving distinctive regional and generational nuances. These findings offer practical guidance for facial aesthetic practitioners and contribute to the broader understanding of beauty perception in North Africa.
