Multi-Wave Punch for Follicular Unit Excision Hair Transplantation Surgery.
Review in Journal of cutaneous and aesthetic surgery. 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
Follicular unit excision is widely used for hair transplantation because it lacks a donor scar and is associated with less postoperative pain. Obtaining high-quality grafts and minimizing hair follicle damage during graft harvesting are key. This review elaborates on the types and dynamics of punches used in follicular unit extraction. We also describe the utility and advantages of a new "Multi-Wave Punch," a new type of punch designed to optimize graft extraction and reduce follicular injury. This multi-wave punch is composed of three different parts. The cutting edge at the end is blunt-angled. Adjacent is the leading edge, which is characterized by several horizontally oriented multi-wave shapes. Most proximal is the main body, which is decagonal in shape. Because of the multi-wave and decagonal structure, the punch easily enters the outer layers of the scalp. The wave energy is transmitted to the surrounding tissue, separating hair follicles from adjacent tissue, facilitating extraction, reducing follicular damage, and ensuring higher quality grafts.
