Melatonin regulates the periodic growth of secondary hair follicles through the nuclear receptor RORα.
Article in Frontiers in veterinary science, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 5 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
Cashmere is the fine bottom hair produced by the secondary hair follicles of the skin. This hair is economically important. Previous studies by our research group have shown that exogenous melatonin (MT) can regulate the periodic growth of secondary hair follicles, induce the secondary development of villi, and alter the expression of some genes related to hair follicle development. Few studies on the regulation of villus growth by MT binding receptors have been published. In this study, MT was implanted subcutaneously behind the ear of Inner Mongolia cashmere goats. RT-qPCR,
