Anatomy-guided dissection plane selection in endoscopic brow lift: a narrative review of supraperiosteal, subperiosteal, and multiplane approaches.
Review in Frontiers in 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
Endoscopic brow lift has become a widely adopted technique for upper facial rejuvenation due to its minimally invasive nature and favorable aesthetic outcomes. Compared with traditional open approaches, it offers reduced scarring, shorter recovery time, and a lower incidence of sensory complications. Three principal dissection planes are currently employed: the supraperiosteal (subgaleal), subperiosteal, and combined supra-subperiosteal approaches. Each plane differs in anatomical relationships, surgical exposure, biomechanical lifting mechanisms, and risk of neurovascular injury-particularly involving the deep branch of the supraorbital nerve. Recent anatomical and clinical studies suggest that supraorbital nerve tension plays a critical role in limiting brow elevation. Furthermore, considerable anatomical variability exists in the course of the supraorbital nerve, complicating surgical standardization. This review provides a comprehensive comparison of these three approaches, integrating anatomical insights, surgical outcomes, and clinical evidence. Particular emphasis is placed on nerve safety and the rationale for the multiplane approach, which may offer an optimal balance between surgical efficacy and complication avoidance.
