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

Alopecia associated with use of endocrine therapy is an underreported adverse effect despite its significant impact on a patient's quality of life. There is a lack of published evidence for the treatment and management of endocrine therapy-induced alopecia (EIA). Current therapeutic strategies for EIA in breast cancer patients primarily include pharmacologic agents for androgenic alopecia given the similar underlying pathophysiology and clinical presentation of hair loss of EIA and other causes of alopecia. This review aims to summarize select prescription and non-prescription agents (i.e., over-the-counter products, nutraceuticals, dietary supplements) that may be used for EIA including general efficacy and safety. Further studies are needed in the breast cancer population to better understand the place in therapy and efficacy of these pharmacologic agents for EIA.
