Rare Coexistence of Monilethrix and Trichorrhexis Nodosa in a Pediatric Patient: A Case Report.
Article in Clinical case reports, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
Monilethrix is a rare genetic disorder characterized by sparse, brittle hair, primarily affecting the scalp, although it may also affect other parts of the body. Trichorrhexis nodosa (TN) is another hair shaft disorder characterized by brittle and fragile hair shafts. Concurrence of monilethrix and TN is exceedingly rare. We report a 6-year-old girl with sparse and brittle hair in the occipital and frontotemporal regions, accompanied by perifollicular papules and follicular hyperkeratosis. Hair shaft disorders and loose anagen syndrome were among the differential diagnoses. Dermoscopy revealed a beaded appearance of the hair caused by uniform elliptical nodes and internodal constriction. Additionally, light microscopy examination confirmed the presence of elliptical nodes and intermittent constrictions in the hair, along with splitting of the hair shafts exhibiting a paintbrush bristle pattern. Subsequently, the diagnosis of concurrent monilethrix and TN was made for the patient. We observed minimal clinical improvement after treatment with low-dose oral and topical minoxidil.
