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

introductionInsufficient hair growth after hair transplant, as well as erythema and perifollicular scaling, may be diagnosed as lichen planopilaris and treated as such based on clinical and histopathological findings. The purpose of this study is to observe graft biopsies of patients after uncomplicated hair transplants and to discuss if histological findings are enough to diagnose lichen planopilaris. METHODS AND

resultsEight patients diagnosed with androgenetic alopecia who were submitted to hair transplant were enrolled. In each of the participants, a scalp biopsy was performed in the receptor area and in the adjacent area. Biopsies were performed between 6 months and 1 year after surgery. Exams were analyzed by 3 pathologists. The

conclusionsIt is questioned whether lymphocytic infiltrate and fibrosis may be expected in patients who are submitted to normal hair transplants.
