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

Scalp pruritus is a frequent symptom and can be caused by dermatologic diseases, contact allergies, neurologic, psychiatric/somatoform and systemic diseases. In daily clinical practice scalp pruritus is a diagnostic and therapeutic challenge, especially if no detectable lesions are present. A detailed patient history and the inspection of scalp and the skin of the whole body are essential for diagnosis. Depending on the clinical findings, further dermatological diagnostic tests, laboratory analysis, imaging techniques and, where necessary, an interdisciplinary specific diagnostic check-up should be performed. Therapy comprises the treatment of the underlying disease, symptomatic antipruritic treatments such as topical treatment and if applicable systemic treatment. All this should be performed considering the individual situation especially the patient's hair growth and density.
