Analysis of Cytokines and ATP in Plucked Hair Follicles.
Article in Bulletin of experimental biology and medicine, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
The concentrations of ATP, IL-6, and IL-10 were measured in extracts of plucked hair follicles from healthy volunteers (normal values) and patients with androgenetic alopecia and then, ATP, IL-6, and IL-10 content was calculated for each follicle. The resulting values were directly proportional to hair follicle length, except for IL-6. The concentration of extracted ATP correlated with lactate dehydrogenase activity indicating cell damage. In patients with androgenetic alopecia, IL-10 content exceeded the normal values in follicles with a length <1 mm and ATP content surpassed the normal in follicles >2 mm long. The content of IL-6 and IL-10 measured by ELISA was comparable with results of mRNA expression assayed by RT-PCR, which attested to moderate level of gene expression. The content of ATP and IL- 10, but not IL-6 depended on the length of plucked hair follicle and on pathogenetic factors affecting hair growth.
