Relationship between the exercise and severity of androgenic alopecia.
Article in Zhong nan da xue xue bao. Yi xue ban = Journal of Central South University. Medical sciences, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
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
objectivesAndrogenic alopecia (AGA) is the most common type of alopecia. At present, the study on AGA mostly focuses on drugs, laser technology and hair transplantation, while the lifestyle factor that may delay the course of AGA and improve the condition of AGA is neglected. This study aims to investigate the relationship between the exercise and severity of androgenic alopecia, and to help AGA patients to choose suitable forms and amounts of exercise.
methodsPatients, who were diagnosed with AGA from May 13, 2020 to August 25, 2020, were the subjects of the survey. Through the internet online questionnaire survey, the information regarding demographics, exercise forms (lifestyle exercises, stretching exercises, aerobic exercises, and anaerobic exercises), exercise frequency (0-2 times/week, 3-4 times/week, and 5-7 times/week), exercise duration (<30, 30-60, and >60 min/time), and family history (androgenic alopecia, alopecia areata, and scarring alopecia) was obtained. Combination of patient self-assessment and doctor's photo examination was used to evaluate the changes (improvement, aggravation, and natural course) of the condition after 6 months of exercise. Single factor analysis and logistic regression analysis were used to study the factors related to the changes before and after exercise.
resultsA total of 592 AGA patients were recruited. Among them, 215 were male patients (36.32%), and 377 were female patients (63.68%); 91 patients (15.37%) were improved after 6 months of exercise, 448 patients (75.68%) were in natural progress, and 53 patients (8.95%) were aggravated. A total of 439 AGA patients were involved in non-life sports. After 6 months of exercise, 137 patients (31.21%) with scalp itching and scaling were reduced, 65 patients (14.81%) with greasy scalp was reduced, and 204 patients (46.47%) with anxiety and depression symptoms were improved compared with the previous period, and 356 patients (81.10%) showed that their sleep quality was improved compared with before. The changes in the condition before and after exercise are related to exercise style (
conclusionsDoing aerobic exercise or each exercise time >60 min helps to delay the progress of AGA and improve the symptom of AGA.
