Guidelines for ultrasound in aesthetic medicine: a narrative review.
Review in Journal of ultrasound, 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
aimsUltrasound is becoming popular as an adjunct to aesthetic and rejuvenation medicine procedures. This needs, however, standardized protocols and specific guidelines. The purpose of this review article is to identify and to critically analyze the available guidelines on using ultrasound for the aesthetic procedures.
methodsA PubMed and Google Scholar search was performed for the term "aesthetic" OR "cosmetics" OR "face" OR "facial" AND the term "ultrasound" OR "ultrasonography".
resultsApplying the inclusion and exclusion criteria, 7981 results were obtained. These articles were screened to select guidelines, expert opinions, expert group consensus reports, position papers, and position statements. We also identified a consistent number of guidelines and similar articles dealing with aesthetics but failing to mention ultrasound.
conclusionsThe number of guidelines on the specific topic of ultrasound imaging in aesthetics is quite limited by now, with some of them that only deal with fillers injection, while neglecting other, relevant aesthetic topics. Updated, fulfilled recommendations are needed.
