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
Alopecia areata (AA) is a chronic inflammatory disease distinguished by non-scarring alopecia. The latest evidence suggests it is a T cell-mediated autoimmune disease that manifests in genetically susceptible individuals. In contrast to adult-onset AA, clinical traits and treatment of pediatric AA have been investigated very little. We hereby report a pediatric case of recalcitrant AA treated with a 308 nm excimer lamp and topical tofacitinib 2% gel.
