1 · What the graph read from 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.

2 · The registry

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

Trichotillomania is a disorder of chronic hair pulling classified as an impulse control disorder that causes essential stress and leads to difficulties in functionality and severe alopecia. This is the case of a 43-year-old male without a serious medical history who was hospitalized with a large ulcerated plaque with smooth margins covering almost the entire occipital area. He received antibiotic and antidepressant treatment, after which he appeared to be improving. Psychotherapy with behavioral techniques and medication treatment may be effective. The case of a patient with trichotillomania is presented as psychiatric comorbidities on treatment outcomes.
