Genomic Analysis of Trichotillomania.

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
Trichotillomania (TTM) is a psychiatric condition in which people feel an overwhelming urge to pull out their hair, resulting in noticeable hair loss and significant distress. Twin and family studies suggest that TTM is at least partly genetic, but no genome-wide analyses have been completed. To fill the gap in this field, we have conducted a case-control study of genotype array data from 101 European ancestry TTM cases and 488 ancestry-matched unaffected controls. TTM cases were ascertained in the United States through web-based recruitment, patient support groups, and conferences organized by the Trichotillomania Learning Center. Following clinical confirmation of a TTM diagnosis, patients completed self-report assessments of frequency and duration of hair pulling, other psychiatric symptoms, and family history. Unaffected controls were also ascertained in the United States and were matched to cases by ancestry. In the first formal genome-wide association study of TTM, we did not identify any common variants with a genome-wide significant (p < 5 × 10
