Paediatric Hypotrichosis: A Clinical and Algorithmic Approach to Diagnosis.
Review in The Australasian journal of dermatology, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
Paediatric hypotrichosis is the clinical feature of paucity of hair arising congenitally or in early life with the presentation being that of the child whose hair is growing insufficiently. It is a hallmark finding of a diverse group of genodermatoses and sporadic disorders, presenting as either an isolated symptom or in association with syndromic features. Hypotrichoses are rare, with numerous possible differentials requiring a thorough clinical assessment, additional investigations for hair shaft abnormalities and occasionally genetic counselling to reach a diagnosis. We propose a clinical algorithm for the investigation and diagnosis of paediatric hypotrichosis, designed to aid the clinician by utilising key clinical findings in conjunction with the forced hair pull test and trichoscopy to differentiate groups of hair shaft and hair loss disorders. We also discuss in further detail the pathogenesis, phenotypical features and microscopy findings of various types of hypotrichosis.
