A novel finding of hair growth like vellus hairs on glabrous skin of distal phalanx of thumb in Vogt-Koyanagi-Harada disease: A case report.

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
rationaleThis report describes a rare integumentary finding - vellus-like hair growth on the glabrous palmar skin - in a patient with VKHD. To our knowledge, such a manifestation has not been previously documented. PATIENT CONCERNS: A 25-year-old woman presented with unusual hair growth on the radial and palmar surface of the distal thumb, emerging 2 years after the initial diagnosis of VKHD. DIAGNOSES: Previously diagnosed VKHD with recurrent episodes of auditory symptoms and rare occurrence of short, fine vellus-like hairs at a glabrous skin site.
interventionsShe was managed with low-dose oral prednisolone (5-10 mg/d), which alleviated auditory symptoms. Dermatology consultation confirmed the unusual hair growth pattern. OUTCOMES: The hair growth recurred twice within a span of 2 years, lasting 4 to 6 weeks each time, and did not recur thereafter. LESSONS: The presence of hair follicles or vellus-like hairs on glabrous skin is exceedingly rare. This observation expands the spectrum of integumentary manifestations associated with VKHD and warrants documentation for future reference.
