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.

SeS Results: Overall, 93 subjects of any hair type (women: 83%, hair types: I-III: 41%, IV-V: 29%, VI-VIII: 30%) were recruited. 69% were of European and 31% of African origin. SSSD and total dandruff scores were the highest in hair type IV-V, erythema scores in hair type I-III, and the itching score in hair type VI-VIII, with no differences between hair types for any parameter. After 4 weeks, clinical signs and subject assessments had significantly (all Conclusion: SeS
