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

Frontal fibrosing alopecia (FFA) is a form of cicatricial alopecia that is being increasingly diagnosed in recent years. It predominantly affects post-menopausal women of various ethnic backgrounds, but cases have also been reported in pre-menopausal women and rarely in men. Eleven familial cases of FFA have been published in the literature, with some authors raising speculation about potential genetic predisposition or shared exposure to environmental factors as triggers for the condition. Despite this, there remains a lack of detailed characterisation of the clinical features specific to familial cases of FFA. In this report, we aim to contribute to the understanding of FFA by presenting the first Australian case of familial FFA involving a mother and her daughter, while also attempting to define the clinical distinguishing features in familial FFA and sporadic FFA.
