The Value of Trichoscopy in the Follow-up of Treatment Response in Patients With Androgenetic Alopecia.

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
introductionAlthough trichoscopy has been used successfully in the diagnosis of androgenetic alopecia (AGA), its utility in monitoring the therapeutic outcome is not clear.
objectivesTo investigate the value of trichoscopy in the follow-up of treatment response in patients with AGA.
methodsNinety-five patients with AGA were included. Trichoscopic images were obtained on a 1 cm
resultsThe agreement between doctor A and TrichoScan was moderate for THC and ToHC pre-treatment and good post-treatment; poor for VHC and T/V ratio pre- and post-treatment. The agreement between doctor B and TrichoScan was excellent for THC, VHC and ToHC; good for T/V ratio pre- and post-treatment.
conclusionsTrichoscopy, when performed by a doctor experienced in hair diseases and trichoscopy, can be used as a sensitive method in monitoring the treatment response in patients with AGA which is based on the determination of THC, VHC, ToHC and T/V ratio. If it is to be performed by a less experienced doctor, it can be preferred as a sensitive follow-up method using THC and ToHC.
