1 · What the graph read from 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.

2 · The registry

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

Introduction: Teledermatology has been shown to improve efficiency and reduce barriers to care for patients. However, teledermatology is limited by the inability to perform diagnostic tests. With proper planning, teletrichoscopy can be utilized with teledermatology to evaluate patients with hair loss. Case Presentation: Diagnosis of this patient was made using images taken during the televisit, including scalp images taken by the patient using a handheld microscope and images of the hair roots taken by her referring doctor. Conclusion: Hair tests that can be conducted during teledermatology visits include a self-performed pull test, measurement of the thickness of the ponytail, measurement of the distance from the hairline to the glabella, and evaluation of the shedding scale. These tests, in addition to mobile applications for imaging or low-cost handheld microscopes, can be utilized to virtually evaluate patients with hair loss.
