A comprehensive review of evolution of advanced follicular unit excision systems.
Review in Journal of cutaneous and aesthetic surgery. 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
Initially, the application of the follicular unit excision (FUE) technique for hair transplantation faced a challenge due to a significant occurrence of hair follicle damage. However, advancements in techniques, punch designs, and tools have successfully addressed this issue. The integration of motorized equipment featuring rotation, roto-oscillation, oscillation, vibration, suction, and hydration has significantly improved the successful harvesting of grafts. More recently, the adoption of robotic technology for both graft extraction and incision is becoming increasingly common in FUE procedure. Given the wide range of available devices and technologies, hair transplant surgeons may find it challenging to select the most suitable option for their specific practices. The advancements in techniques, punch shapes, and motorized devices have played a key role in reducing the rate of follicle damage and increasing the speed of FUE procedures. It is crucial for hair restoration surgeons to stay informed about the various accessible devices and understand how these tools can be customized to suit the unique hair and skin characteristics of each patient.
