Sensitive scalp: An epidemiologic study in patients with hair loss.
Article in Dermatology reports, 2022. 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
Sensitive scalp is a common condition defined by the presence of erythema and/or subjective symptoms as pain, pricking, burning, pruritus of the scalp elicited by triggering factors. Trichodynia is a term that describes a sensation of pain or burning of the scalp and was assumed to be part of sensitive scalp. Main goal of the study was to establish the prevalence of sensitive scalp in patients with trichological disorders. We conducted a retrospective observational study recorded: age, sex, trichological disorder (telogen effluvium, androgenetic alopecia, alopecia areata, scarring alopecia, trichotillomania) and scalp symptoms (pruritus, pain, burning and itching sensation). We studied 317 patients. 102 patients (32%) complained of sensitive scalp. Telogen effluvium patients had a significantly higher prevalence of sensitive scalp (p <0.001), pain (p= 0.028), burning sensation (p=0.018), pruritus (p=0.016) and trichodynia (p<0.001) than other patients with alopecias. Likewise, AA patients had a statistically significant higher prevalence of pruritus (p=0.0256) and trichodynia (p=0.0223) than other alopecias patients. Sensitive scalp is a frequent symptom reported by patients with hair loss. Telogen effluvium and alopecia areata seem to be most associated to sensitive scalp.
