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

Aesthetic medicine is undergoing a substantial shift toward more objective, algorithm- and data-driven decision-making, with artificial intelligence (AI)-supported facial analysis playing a pivotal role. Modern systems such as CAARISMA™ capture the face holistically using anatomical landmarks, integrate these into the evaluation of different aesthetic dimensions, and translate them into easily interpretable scores such as Facial Aesthetic Index (FAI), Facial Youthfulness Index (FYI), and the Skin Quality Index (SQI). These indices enable standardized and reproducible aesthetic diagnostics, free from subjective, practitioner-specific influences. Clinically, they lead to more structured consultations, individualized treatment plans, and improved communication between physician and patient. At the same time, AI-based, data-driven aesthetic diagnostics and treatment planning can enhance efficiency and treatment quality in daily practice and allow for long-term monitoring of outcomes. Challenges at the interface between AI and aesthetics lie in the areas of bias, transparency, and data protection, all of which must be addressed to ensure responsible use of these technologies.
