A Comment on Posing in Medicine.
Article in International journal of trichology. 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.

Because of the elective nature and the high out-of-pocket costs of the cosmetic procedures and products, the image particularly of cosmetic surgeons and dermatologists has changed from the traditional role of doctor into one of a business person who will promote unnecessary interventions among consumers and peers. "Bluffing, puffing, and spinning" are accepted marketing practices for businesses. Selfie culture has emerged as a natural result of the development of smartphones and social media. Mannerisms and instruments of pose in medicine have been the stethoscope, dermatoscope, FotoFinder
