Dermoscopic Evaluation of Scalp Psoriasis and its Relation with Disease Severity: A Cross-sectional Study from South India.
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.

Abstract
Introduction: Trichoscopy is underutilized in assessing the clinical severity of scalp psoriasis. It might be useful as an important diagnostic and prognostic tool, as it is less time-consuming and more objective than the Psoriasis Scalp Severity Index (PSSI). Objectives: The primary aim of the study was to assess the dermoscopic findings in scalp psoriasis. There was also a secondary aim to relate the dermoscopic findings with clinical severity of the disease, calculated by PSSI. Materials and Methods: This cross-sectional study included 80 patients with scalp psoriasis as cases and 80 age- and sex-matched patients' bystanders with normal scalp as controls. The scalp was evaluated using a DermLite DL3 Dermoscope with a × 20 magnification and optimal trichoscopic images stored in a computer. Descriptive statistics such as frequency, percentage, and Fisher's exact test were used for statistical analysis. Results: Among the cases, red dots and red globules were the most predominant finding, seen in 90% of the patients. There was a statistically significant difference ( Conclusion: Based on the above findings, it can be concluded that dermoscopy is a handy, reliable, and noninvasive tool in the diagnosis of scalp psoriasis.
