Monotonous Broom Hairs: A Feature of Trichoteiromania.
Article in Skin appendage disorders, 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 8 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
Trichoteiromania is a self-inflicted traumatic hair injury, with breaking of the hair shafts resulting from repetitive rubbing of the scalp. We describe a patient with trichoteiromania presenting with one lichenified pruriginous plaque on the scalp, associated with fracture and loss of hair shafts giving the conspicuous appearance of monotonous clusters of broom hairs under trichoscopy, which pointed to the diagnosis. As trichoteiromania can be considered a psychodermatological condition, patient education and a behavioral approach are of paramount importance in the management and prognosis of this disorder.
