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
Acne keloidalis nuchae (AKN), also known as folliculitis keloidalis nuchae and nuchal keloid acne, is a chronic inflammatory skin disorder of the hair follicle. Predominantly occurring in the nuchal and occipital scalp, it can lead to keloid-like plaques and cicatricial alopecia. Primarily affecting people of color, more specifically African American individuals, it is associated with haircuts, friction, or trauma among a variety of other less common causes. The diagnosis is clinical with physical exam findings showing firm, dome-shaped papules or pustules, hypertrophic scars, inflammation, and alopecia. Although challenging as the disease progresses, management includes topical and systemic antimicrobials, corticosteroids, cryotherapy, laser therapy, and surgical excision. Early intervention is vital as it helps minimize the risk of permanent scarring and psychosocial impact. The following case report is about a young, African American male who presented to the outpatient clinic with findings concerning for AKN.
