Concentrated growth factor therapy as cosmetic treatment in discoid lupus erythematosus.
Article in The Journal of dermatology, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
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
Discoid lupus erythematosus (DLE) is a disfigurement disease. The atrophic scar and hair loss of this disease are followed by cosmetic defects and profoundly impact psychological health. Concentrated growth factor (CGF) has been widely adopted in medical cosmetology. Here we report a 36-year-old female systemic lupus erythematosus patient with a 5-year history of alopecia in DLE, who was recommended for CGF therapy and experienced hair regrowth. We suggest that CGF may be an effective cosmetic treatment for DLE.
