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: Androgenetic alopecia (AGA) is a common dermatologic condition with significant psychological and social impact. Treatment remains challenging due to heterogeneity in patient response and limited long-term efficacy data. Objective: To develop expert consensus guidelines for the diagnosis and management of AGA tailored to the Egyptian population, considering region-specific clinical and systemic factors. Methods: A modified Delphi process was conducted in two rounds. Initially, a structured, evidence-informed questionnaire was distributed to 1,000 practicing dermatologists across Egypt; 723 completed the survey. Responses were analyzed and refined into consensus statements, which were subsequently evaluated by a panel of 20 senior dermatology professors. Statements achieving ≥75% agreement were considered consensus. Results: Twenty-seven consensus statements were established and categorized into seven key areas: diagnosis, minoxidil, antiandrogens, low-level laser therapy, adjuvant treatments, hair transplantation, and counseling/hair aids. These recommendations reflect a synthesis of current evidence and national clinical experience. Conclusion: This consensus provides a regionally relevant, evidence-based framework for AGA management in Egypt. It emphasizes individualized care, multidisciplinary strategies, and the integration of emerging therapies, and may serve as a model for practice in similar healthcare settings.
