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

Androgenetic alopecia (AGA) is associated with the scalp microbiota, but the role of microflora during hair loss has not been fully characterized. Erbium: yttrium aluminum garnet (Er: Yag) is a microablative laser treatment for hair regeneration that can cause minimal damage to the skin surface. This investigation aimed to evaluate the effects of microtrauma caused by the Er: Yag laser of AGA on scalp microorganisms. Thirteen AGA patients in this study received Er: Yag laser treatment (3.3 Hz frequency and 7.00 J/cm
