Analysis of Changes in Scalp Skin Thickness According to Age and Sex Based on Ultrasonography and Histometry.
Article in Archives of plastic surgery, 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
Background: This study investigates scalp skin thickness using ultrasonography and histometry, exploring its relationship with age and sex. Methods: The study data were obtained from split-thickness skin grafting using hairy scalp skin as the donor site in 102 Korean patients. The skin thickness of the donor scalps was measured using preoperative ultrasound in all 102 patients, and the histometric thickness of a 3-mm punch biopsy near the donor site was measured in 61 patients postoperatively. The scalp skin thickness was statistically analyzed according to age and sex. Results: The mean ultrasonographic thickness was 1.71 ± 0.41 mm, while the mean histometric thickness was 1.93 ± 0.47 mm. The difference was statistically significant ( Conclusion: Scalp skin thickness correlates with age, but not sex. Preoperative ultrasonography is crucial for assessing scalp skin thickness, especially for younger patients under 21 years, to optimize scalp grafting outcomes.
