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
backgroundSocial media and the widespread use of selfie filters have reshaped beauty expectations and intensified appearance-related pressures among women. In Jordan, where the popularity of aesthetic procedures is rising, little is known about how filtered images influence body image perception and satisfaction after aesthetic procedures.
objectiveTo examine the association between selfie filter use and social media engagement on body image perception, and satisfaction after aesthetic procedures among Jordanian women.
methodsA cross sectional study was conducted among 390 women aged 18-50 years attending public and private aesthetic clinics in Jordan. Participants completed a structured questionnaire covering demographics, cosmetic history, social media habits, and validated psychological measures (BIDQ, FACE-Q, and PsychFilt). Statistical analyses involved group comparisons, correlations, and multivariable regression.
resultsParticipants had a mean age of 33 years. Selfie filters were used by 80.5% of women, and 52.8% reported that social media influenced their decision to undergo aesthetic procedures. Filter users were younger (31.8 vs. 37.9 years, p < 0.001), more active online, and posted selfies more often (daily posting: 20.1% vs. 2.6%). They reported higher BIDQ scores (9.95 vs. 7.95) and higher PsychFilt scores (10.76 vs. 7.05). Filters use independently predicted both greater body image dissatisfaction (β = 1.60, p = 0.013) and stronger psychological impact (β = 3.09, p < 0.001). Satisfaction with procedures was similar between groups.
conclusionSelfie filter use is strongly linked to higher body image dissatisfaction and greater psychological sensitivity to digitally altered images among Jordanian women undergoing aesthetic procedures. These findings highlight the need for integrating media-related counseling and psychological assessment into aesthetic practice.
