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

Background: Eyebrows play an important role in protecting the eyes, and also transmit facial expression. Restoration of eyebrow loss after deep thermal burns is a challenging task because a scarred recipient area may affect the success rate of the hair transplantation outcome. Trials to improve this outcome via preparation of pretransplantation recipient area are mandatory. Methodology: Seventeen patients (20 eyebrows) with partial or total postburn eyebrow loss were recruited. Nanofat injection was done as a preparatory step before hair transplantation. Patients were followed up monthly for 6 months after follicular unit extraction. The outcome was assessed both objectively by phototrichoscopy and patient satisfaction, and by incidence of complications. Results: The mean eyebrow density of the recipient side was found to be 88.60 ± 29.96 hair follicle per cm Conclusions: Restoration of eyebrow loss after deep facial burn is a challenging procedure. Improving the recipient area before hair transplantation is recommended to achieve a satisfactory outcome. Waiting until maturation of the scarred tissue of the recipient area and preparation of it with nanofat can achieve a satisfactory outcome.
