1 · What the graph read from it

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.

2 · The registry

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

Hair plays a significant role in personality and aesthetics, with androgenetic alopecia affecting up to 80% of males. This case study evaluates the efficacy of palliative treatment and Viddhakarma (Puncture Therapy in Ayurveda) in managing androgenetic alopecia (Khalitya). A 37-year-old man presented with hair loss and a mild burning sensation on the scalp for six to seven years, primarily in the vertex and frontal regions. Treatment included Viddhakarma, Nilibhringadi Taila application (Shiroabhyanga), and palliative medications for four months, with weekly monitoring. New hair roots appeared within two weeks, existing hair improved in quality, and warmth sensation normalized after a month. Significant regrowth was observed without adverse effects, highlighting the effectiveness of personalized Ayurvedic management for androgenetic alopecia.
