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
introductionThe Covid-19 pandemic has been shown to have major acute and chronic impacts on the skin. Various studies reported that there has been an increase in the number of patients referred to outpatient dermatology clinics with the complaint of variable hair diseases during the era of Covid-19. Hair seems to be substantially affected by both the infection itself and anxiety/stress provoked by the pandemic. Therefore, understanding the impact of Covid-19 on the clinical course of variable hair diseases has become a major concern in dermatology practice.
objectivesTo examine the frequency and types of various hair diseases, both new-onset and ingravescent, observed in healthcare providers.
methodsA web-based questionnaire related to the hair diseases seen in healthcare providers both prior to the Covid-19 pandemic and after the start of the pandemic was created. The type of both new-onset and pre-existing hair diseases and ongoing hair diseases observed during Covid-19 were investigated.
resultsA total number of 513 participants were included in the study. One hundred seventy cases were diagnosed with Covid-19. During the Covid-19 pandemic, 228 reported having at least one hair disease; the most common one being telogen effluvium, followed by hair greying and seborrheic dermatitis. There was a statistically significant relationship between the presence of a new-onset hair disease during the pandemic and being diagnosed with Covid-19 (p=0.004).
conclusionOur study shows that Covid-19 infection has a significant impact on the emergence of new-onset hair diseases.
