Prognostic Factors in Mexican Patients with Patchy and Other Types of Alopecia Areata.
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 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
introductionSome clinical features have been associated with the progression and remission of alopecia areata (AA). We aim to determine possible prognostic factors in Mexican patients with AA.
methodsThis prospective study of a 1-year follow-up included Mexican patients with a clinical diagnosis of AA. We evaluated disease activity with the SALT score at the first visit and 1-year follow-up; progression, no progression, and remission were defined according to score changes. We used multiple linear regression model to detect factors associated with progression and remission.
resultsOne hundred and four patients concluded the study. Ninety-seven patients (93.3%) had patchy AA. Fifteen patients showed disease progression and 89 no progression, of which 35 patients had remission. Body hair involvement was related to disease progression and adherence to treatment with disease remission and progression.
conclusionsBody hair involvement is related to poor prognosis. Adherence to treatment is a modifiable prognostic factor associated with the course of AA in Mexican patients.
