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

The management of hair loss is vital in clinical dermatology due to its prevalence and impact on patients' quality of life. Quercetin is recognized for its diverse activities, including anti-inflammatory, anti-cancer, and immune regulation. However, its effects on human hair follicles and mechanisms remain unclear. This study explored quercetin's impact on countering DHT-induced cell damage, emphasizing apoptosis, cell cycle, mitochondria, and autophagy. Quercetin mitigated DHT's harm, restoring dermal papilla cell function and modulating cell cycle proteins. It restrained DHT-induced ROS and ATP loss, preserving mitochondrial integrity. Through network pharmacology analysis, it was discovered that quercetin targets SHP2, thereby regulating AKT signaling. Additionally, in mice, quercetin was found to promote hair growth. These significant insights highlight the potential of quercetin as a promising solution for hair loss and hair regeneration.
