A hairy tail in the stomach: A silent warning.
Article in Pakistan journal of medical sciences, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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 is a psychiatric disorder in which one is urged to pull hairs and eyelashes out and one is urged to eat these pulled-out hairs, resulting in Rapunzel syndrome (a rare disorder where gastric trichobezoars traverse into the small intestine and can lead to intestinal obstruction). Here we present two case reports. In the First case, a 17 years old boy presented with a history of recurrent pancreatitis and microcytic anemia, while the other patient was a 16 years old female presenting with complaints of epigastric pain and non-projectile, foul-smelling vomiting associated with a low-grade fever. Both had a history of depression and compulsive hair-pulling and eating. After successful surgical management, both patients were eventually referred to Psychiatry.
