Familial trichotillomania in three generations.
Article in International journal of trichology, 2013. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled it.
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
Trichotillomania (TTM) is a type of impulse control disorder, characterized by recurrent pulling of hair. The etiology of TTM is complex, but a genetic contribution to this condition was advocated based on a limited number of reports on familial TTM. We report a 13-year-old male with history of focal hair loss in the scalp. Examination showed a patchy area of hair loss, with several short broken hairs of varying lengths. Dermoscopy and pathology examinations were consistent with TTM. Upon further questioning, his father admitted repeated pulling of his beard. The paternal grandfather also suffers from severe hair pulling of his beard since puberty. To our knowledge, this is the first report of TTM in a 3 generation family. This report strengthens the possibility that TTM is a genetic disease, probably with a complex inheritance pattern. It also highlights the importance of appropriate family history taking when examining a TTM patient.
