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
Objective: This study aimed to explore the differences in characteristics of scalp aging and visual attention across genders in a Chinese population. Methods: This study recruited 79 Han Chinese participants aged 31-47 years from Shanghai, China. Using a combination of non-invasive instrumental measurements, eye-tracking technology, and subjective questionnaires, we analyzed scalp aging manifestations through three physiological dimensions-barrier function, microecology, and scalp skin color-while examining visual attention patterns toward scalp aging features through eye-tracking and assessing subjective cognitive and emotional responses via questionnaires. Results: The results revealed no significant gender differences in scalp barrier function. Instrumental measurements showed no notable differences in stratum corneum moisture content or transepidermal water loss (TEWL) between genders, and subjective evaluations of moisture, glossiness, greasiness, and tightness also showed no significant variations. However, significant gender differences were observed in scalp microecology: women exhibited higher dandruff area proportion and pH, along with more severe subjective concerns regarding hair loss. In terms of scalp skin color, men had higher Conclusion: This study revealed significant gender-based differences in physiological characteristics and visual attention patterns associated with scalp aging in the Han Chinese population in Shanghai, China. These findings provide a scientific basis for understanding scalp aging and for developing related products.
