Trichoteiromania: Good Response to Treatment with N-Acetylcysteine.
Article in Skin appendage disorders, 2019. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 10 papers.
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
Lichen simplex chronicus on the scalp, also known as trichoteiromania, can be difficult to manage, as the therapeutic options are limited to topical or intralesional glucocorticoids. We describe a patient with trichoteiromania, presenting three lichenified pruriginous plaques on different regions of the scalp, associated with fracture and loss of hair shafts. Prior treatment with potent topical glucocorticoids was ineffective. However, treatment with oral N-acetylcysteine (NAC) 1,200 mg/day resulted in complete hair regrowth within 16 weeks. NAC is a safe drug with a good tolerance profile that could be a therapeutic option for patients with trichoteiromania. The potential of NAC has not been completely elucidated, thus more studies will be necessary to confirm its efficacy in the long term for some psychodermatological conditions.
