The Beauty Health Index (BHI): A Proposed Framework for Quantifying Facial Aesthetic Health.
Review in Cureus, 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
Facial aesthetic health is one of the most visible indicators of well-being, yet unlike cardiovascular fitness, metabolic status, or sleep quality, it lacks a standardized measurement method. Existing approaches evaluate isolated elements such as wrinkles, pigmentation, symmetry, or contour, although appearance is shaped jointly by structural anatomy, skin physiology, expression patterns, regenerative capacity, and lifestyle behaviors. No current framework integrates these components into a single interpretable score. This gap limits clinical practice: dermatologists rely on subjective grading scales, surgeons assess proportion in isolation, and consumer applications offer non-validated "beauty scores." The Beauty Health Index (BHI) is proposed as a multidomain framework for the standardized assessment and longitudinal tracking of facial aesthetic health. To develop and present a multidomain framework for the structured assessment of facial aesthetic health by integrating biologically relevant determinants into a single composite index. A structured review of literature in aesthetic surgery, dermatology, psychophysiology, regenerative biology, and lifestyle medicine informed the identification of five core domains: morphologic harmony, skin quality, expression dynamics, regenerative performance, and lifestyle influence, encompassing multiple evidence-based factors. Domain weighting was guided by literature-informed appraisal and iterative refinement to ensure balanced representation of intrinsic, extrinsic, and behavioral contributors. The BHI framework integrates 40 evidence-based subsystems across five domains into a composite score intended to reflect global facial aesthetic health. Theoretical modeling suggests proportional domain contributions and mathematically stable behavior across simulated parameter ranges, without dominance of any single subsystem. The BHI introduces a novel framework for the integrated assessment of facial aesthetic health. By combining morphologic characteristics, skin quality, expression dynamics, regenerative biology, and lifestyle factors into a unified structure, it is designed to support longitudinal evaluation, personalized planning, and structured assessment of treatment- and product-related changes. The BHI is proposed as an initial framework grounded in existing evidence, and further studies are required to evaluate its reliability, validity, and clinical applicability.
