Impact of male androgenetic alopecia on a Jordanian cohort measured using the Dermatology Life Quality Index.
Article in The Journal of international medical research, 2025. 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
ObjectivesThis study aimed to assess the impact of androgenetic alopecia on the quality of life of individuals in a Jordanian cohort using the Dermatology Life Quality Index and compare it with that in other communities.MethodsThis cross-sectional study recruited men from different age groups with varying extent of androgenetic alopecia. The participants' demographics were documented using the Dermatology Life Quality Index questionnaire. The severity of androgenetic alopecia was assessed using the Hamilton-Norwood scale.ResultsA total of 522 participants were included in this study. The mean Dermatology Life Quality Index of the cohort was 1.5. The main burden was a feeling of embarrassment. A greater impact of androgenetic alopecia was noted in younger age groups than in older age groups, while participants who had had the disease for a longer duration (>10 years) showed significantly milder effects.ConclusionOur study found a minor impact of androgenetic alopecia on the quality of life of individuals in a Jordanian cohort. This could be attributed to the high prevalence of the condition and its cultural tolerance. This result should be interpreted with caution, as our study was conducted on the general population, whereas other studies have focused on individuals seeking treatment for androgenetic alopecia.
