1 · What the graph read from 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.

2 · The registry

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

Various hair-related diseases, systemic dermatoses as well as parasitic diseases are treated via topical application of active substances. The density of hair follicles and the consequential special conditions for diffusion require specific galenic concepts that can vary considerably depending on the respective therapeutic purpose. Both the physicochemical properties of the active ingredient and the nature of the application area must be considered when choosing an appropriate galenic base. Highly relevant here are hairiness, scarring, hyperkeratosis and exoserosis. Low-viscosity bases and foams are often preferred because of their good spreadability. Packages with nozzle tip or comb-shaped dispensers are user-friendly and can significantly enhance patient adherence to topical treatment.
