Treatment of Vitiligo Associated Eyebrow and Eyelash Leukotrichia - A Systematic Review of Existing Information.
Review in Indian dermatology online journal. 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
Background: Vitiligo in hair bearing areas, especially segmental vitiligo, is frequently associated with leukotrichia. Leukotrichia, in general, is considered a predictor of unsatisfactory response to conventional treatment methods like phototherapy. This review aims to systematically review various available treatment options in patients with eyebrow and eyelash leukotrichia and assess the response to these therapeutic modalities. Materials and Methods: Articles were searched using the keywords "eyelid", "eyelash", "leukotrichia", either singly or combined. The databases searched include Pubmed, Cochrane Library, Embase, and Science Direct. The strategy was to include studies in which any therapeutic modalities were undertaken for treatment of eyelash or eyebrow leukotrichia. Results: After applying the inclusion and exclusion criteria, this review included 15 studies. There was a positive response to the surgical treatment options for eyebrow and eyelash leukotrichia. Topical tofacitinib has emerged as a promising new therapeutic option, but further studies are needed to establish its efficacy. Conclusion: In conclusion, there are several treatment options for eyebrow and eyelash leukotrichia. However, further studies are needed to better understand their efficacy and optimal applications.
