An Overlap of Secondary Cutis Verticis Gyrata, Folliculitis Decalvans, Folliculitis Keloidalis Nuchae and the Use of Dreadlocks: The Role of Inflammation due to Traction.
Article in Skin appendage disorders, 2017. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 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
We report a 29-year-old black male with cutis verticis gyrata, folliculitis decalvans and folliculitis keloidalis nuchae confirmed by biopsy. He had been using dreadlocks for 5 years before the appearance of the lesions. An activation of the different fibroblast growth factor members may explain the development of hyperproliferation of collagen, fibrosis and keloid lesions. We suggest a hypothesis of a common pathogenesis for the three conditions in a genetically predisposed patient. Inflammation and traction caused by the dreadlocks can act as a possible trigger factor.
