Trichoscopy of Discoid Lupus Erythematosus in Caucasian Scalp: A Review.
Review in Skin appendage disorders, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 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
Background: Scalp discoid lupus erythematosus in Caucasians is still a rare disease with a variable clinical presentation. Its dermoscopic characteristics are poorly described in literature, especially in the white population. The aim of this review was to critically analyze published papers on this topic and summarize relevant features. Summary: A comprehensive search for eligible articles was conducted in the databases of MEDLINE/PubMed. Results were analyzed following dermoscopic patterns such as follicular openings, hair shafts, perifollicular surface, and vessel pattern. Key Messages: The most representative features appeared the absence of follicular openings and the presence of follicular keratotic plugs, along with yellow-brown and red dots. In long-lasting lesions with chronic stage, trichoscopy showed the absence of follicular openings, white or milky red cicatricial patches, white and brown structureless areas, and thick arborizing vessels.
