Quantitative trichoscopic analysis of hair density in people attending tertiary care hospital - A cross-sectional study.
Article 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 2 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
Objectives: Hair is important to trace evidence commonly encountered in almost all criminal cases. Forensic anthropologists routinely compare the morphological characteristics of the hair samples to determine a transfer. Assessment of parameters such as hair density, hair diameter, follicular units, and empty hair follicle/yellow dots are useful for the diagnosis of various hair disorders, monitoring treatment outcomes, and research purposes. The study aimed to analyze the relationship between age and hair density. Material and Methods: The present cross-sectional observational study was carried out at the Department of Dermatology at a tertiary care center. All the subjects attending the Dermatology Outpatient Department fulfilling inclusion criteria were studied. Data were collected after the approval from the Institutional Ethical Committee. The procedure was explained and a written consent was taken. Each patient's hair was parted in the middle and images from a point of roughly 5 inches from the patient's glabella were taken. The parameters such as hair thickness, hair density, hair count, follicular units, and empty hair follicles/yellow dots were noted. Results: In the present study, the majority of the study subjects belonged to the age group 26-35 years (38%), followed by 18-25 years (34.7%), 36-45 years (20.7%), and least in the age group of 46-55 years (6.7%). In the present study, the mean unit density in males was 104.78 ± 14.33 and that of females was 108.36 ± 17.60. Conclusion: Mean hair density varies concerning age group in the study population.
