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

Frontal fibrosing alopecia (FFA) is a progressive scarring alopecia of unknown etiology that classically presents with a band of hair loss along the frontotemporal scalp. We report a case of FFA involving a band of alopecia along the frontotemporal scalp extending into 2 symmetrical triangles along the parietal scalp reminiscent of the Greek letter upsilon (υ). Trichoscopy demonstrated loss of follicular ostia and peripilar casts. Histology demonstrated altered follicular architecture with decreased follicular density and focal perifollicular fibrosis with a lichenoid infiltrate. Both the trichoscopy and histology support a diagnosis of FFA.
