Comparative Study of Trichoscopic Features of Alopecia Areata between Adults and Children and between Different Body Parts (Scalp, Beard, Eyebrow, and Moustache).
Article in Indian journal of dermatology. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 papers.
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
Background: Round patches of baldness on the scalp or entire body are typically caused by the common, non-scarring hair loss condition known as alopecia areata (AA). Follicular units with two to four terminal hairs and one or two vellus hairs can be seen on a healthy, typical scalp trichoscopy. Aim of the Study: To compare trichoscopic features between adults and children and between different body parts. Patients and Methods: A cross-sectional observational study was performed on 90 patients; AA of the scalp and other body parts attended the dermatology out-patient clinic. A Gen Dermlite D100 Dermoscope was used to examine AA lesions and compare their features according to age and different body parts. Results: Scalp was the most common area among all patients, 65.6% (among adults, it was 50%, and among children, it was 85%), with a significant difference, Conclusion: The most common trichoscopic feature of adult lesions was empty follicular opening, while honeycomb pigment was dominant among children. Tulip hair was higher among adults, while honeycomb pigment patterns and pohlpinkus constriction were higher among children.
