The Use of 2D:4D Digit Ratio as a Predictor of Androgenetic Alopecia: A Review.
Review in Dermatology practical & conceptual, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
Androgenetic alopecia (AGA) is a widespread type of hair loss that affects both males and females. Advanced age and family history of AGA are well-established risk factors for developing AGA. The second to fourth digit ratio (2D:4D) is the ratio between the length of the index and ring fingers. This ratio has been utilized as a predictor for multiple hyperandrogenism-related medical conditions. More recently, 2D:4D was investigated as a predictor for AGA. This article aims to investigate the evidence supporting the use of 2D:4D as a predictor of AGA, and address areas of future research.
