In the Search of the Ideal Moroccan Feminine Beauty: Body Aesthetic Preferences Across Demographics.
Article in Aesthetic plastic surgery, 2026. 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
backgroundWe respond to the methodological comments raised by Li and Wang regarding our article, "In the Search of the Ideal Moroccan Feminine Beauty: Body Aesthetic Preferences Across Demographics." Their letter addressed issues related to geographic sampling distribution, the use of hand-drawn anatomical stimuli, and statistical modelling strategies.
methodsThis response clarifies the rationale underlying our original methodological decisions. We explain the proportional stratified sampling approach reflecting real-world demographic clusters, justify the use of hand-rendered anatomical stimuli for controlled morphological isolation, and discuss the appropriateness of chi-square testing for descriptive categorical analysis. Considerations for future methodological enhancements, including region-based weighting models and multilevel statistical frameworks, are outlined.
resultsWe demonstrate that the sampling distribution mirrors population accessibility rather than methodological imbalance. The hand-drawn stimuli ensured internal validity by controlling confounding visual variables while preserving anatomical proportionality. The statistical approach was appropriate for the descriptive objectives of the study and supported by adequate sample size thresholds for subgroup comparisons.
conclusionThe methodological framework of the original study remains statistically and conceptually robust. We acknowledge the value of the suggested refinements and identify directions for future research, including expanded geographic recruitment, multimodal visual stimuli, and advanced multilevel modelling. Continued scientific dialogue will strengthen aesthetic preference research in North Africa. LEVEL OF EVIDENCE V: This journal requires that authors assign a level of evidence to each article.
