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
Introduction: Premature greying of hair (PGH) is a cosmetic issue affecting youths, and limited research has been conducted on its prevalence and impact in the Thai population. This study aimed to investigate the prevalence, psychological impact, and associated factors of PGH. Methods: A cross-sectional study was conducted with volunteering students aged 25 or younger from a Thai university. Participants completed a self-administered survey that included questions on PGH status, psychological effects, and associated factors, which include psychological stress, alcohol and cigarette consumption, body mass index, paternal and maternal history of PGH, exercise frequency, and diet. Results: A total of 441 participants were included in the analysis. The prevalence of PGH was 47.17%, with an average (sd) onset age of 16.29 (3.08) years. Self-assessment revealed hair greying <25% in 89.42% of all PGH cases. Of those with PGH, 67.31% reported no psychological impact, whilst 25.00% reported self-confidence loss, and 7.69% were bullied. PGH is found to be significantly associated with maternal and paternal history of the condition ( Conclusion: The results showed a high prevalence of PGH, with the majority of cases involving less than 25% hair greying and no psychological impact. PGH was found to be significantly associated with both maternal and paternal history.
