The Modified Cupid's Bow Lips: A Dominant Aesthetic Trend in Lip Augmentation-A Clinical and Statistical Analysis.
Article in Journal of cosmetic dermatology, 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
backgroundContemporary lip augmentation has evolved from simple volumization techniques to more intricate contour-specific enhancements. Among these advancements, the Modified Cupid's bow lips, characterized by their distinctive Cupid's bow shape and vertical projection, have gained significant popularity as a prominent aesthetic trend.
aimsThis study aims to evaluate the prevalence of patient preference for the Modified Cupid's bow lips contour and to propose a systematic approach for its clinical implementation based on retrospective analysis.
methodsA retrospective analysis was conducted, including 67 consecutive female patients seeking primary lip augmentation. Demographic information and preferences regarding lip contours were statistically analyzed using chi-square tests with age stratification. Anthropometric measurements of labial tubercle area and upper lip angles were performed using Image Pro Plus software for quantitative assessment.
resultsThis analysis revealed that 42 patients (62.7%) preferred Modified Cupid's bow lips, a significantly higher proportion compared to the 25 patients (37.3%) who favored natural lips (χ
conclusionThe Modified Cupid's bow lips represent a dominant aesthetic preference and necessitate specialized injection techniques and an understanding of anatomy for optimal results. Objective morphometric changes validate the efficacy of the technique in achieving defined lip contours.
