Consumer Perceptions of Pattern Hair Loss: Insights from the South Korea Survey.
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
Androgenic alopecia is the most common form of non-scarring hair loss, affecting both men and women with distinct regional patterns. This study aimed to investigate public perceptions, treatment behaviors, and preferences related to hair loss. A nationwide online survey was conducted from April 25 to 29, 2024, involving 2,579 participants. The questionnaire assessed sources of information, selection criteria for treatment providers, preferred treatment methods, and use of medications. Respondents most frequently relied on internet communities and social media for information. Treatment provider selection was influenced primarily by online reviews and word of mouth. Common treatments included over-the-counter products, clinic-based therapies, and oral medications. Age and gender differences significantly influenced treatment patterns and perceptions. The findings highlight the importance of digital platforms in shaping patient behavior and underscore the need for evidence-based education to guide individuals seeking treatment for hair loss.
