Pediatric Radiation-Induced Alopecia Post Intracranial Vascular Malformation Embolization: A Case Report with Dermoscopic Findings.

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
Radiation-induced alopecia (RIA) is an uncommon complication associated with fluoroscopy-guided neurointerventional procedures. We present a case of a 7-year-old female child who developed a well-demarcated square alopecic patch on the occipital scalp 18 days after undergoing intracranial vascular malformation embolization. Dermoscopic examination revealed multiple characteristic findings, including black dots, yellow dots, Pohl-Pinkus constrictions, tapered hairs, flame hairs, and upright regrowing hairs. The geometric shape of the alopecic patch was completely consistent with the intraoperative radiation exposure field, confirming the diagnosis of RIA. Notably, the presence of Pohl-Pinkus constrictions and tapered hairs suggests a dystrophic anagen response pattern, reflecting a less severe form of follicular damage that permits eventual hair regrowth. This case underscores the diagnostic value of dermoscopy in differentiating RIA from other common alopecic disorders, particularly in pediatric patients who have undergone neurointerventional procedures.
