Cutaneous and Gut Dysbiosis in Alopecia Areata: A Review.
Review in JID innovations : skin science from molecules to population health, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 papers.
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 common, immune-mediated nonscarring alopecia. Breakdown of immune privilege combined with local immune cell infiltration is central to the development of AA; yet, the instigating factors causing immune dysregulation remain elusive. Recent attention has focused on the microbiome in AA, where alterations to the usual composition of healthy microorganisms is observed. This review examines the current evidence for bacterial dysbiosis affecting the scalp and gut of patients with AA and summarizes the potential influence of altered microbial composition on immune dysregulation in AA. Although the literature supports changes to the bacterial composition of patients with AA, a causal link between microbial dysbiosis and AA pathogenesis remains to be established.
