The Multi-Faceted Role of Gut Microbiota in Alopecia Areata.
Review in Biomedicines, 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 complex autoimmune disorder with multifactorial pathogenesis. Recent research highlights the gut microbiota as a possible key player in AA pathogenesis through the gut-skin axis: gut dysbiosis may disrupt intestinal barrier integrity and immune tolerance by affecting T regulatory cells, potentially contributing to disease onset and progression. The purpose of this review is to analyze the current evidence on the correlation between gut microbiota and AA, dissecting both the pathogenetic role of its alterations in the onset and progression of disease and its potential role as a therapeutic target.
