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

Introduction: Pseudofolliculitis barbae (PFB) is a chronic inflammatory condition of hair follicles characterized by inflamed papules and pustules, with increased risk in individuals with curly or coarse hair. While psychiatric comorbidities in acne are well studied, limited research exists on PFB's psychological impact. Methods: We conducted a cross-sectional analysis of individuals with PFB using the Results: A total of N = 1,668 individuals were included in the matched dataset, with 834 PFB cases and 834 controls and were assessed for diagnosis of attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD), obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD), major depressive disorder (MDD), and general anxiety disorder (GAD). The association between the presence of ADHD and PFB was significant ( Discussion: Our study demonstrated a significant association between PFB and mood disorders like depression or anxiety. Future studies should examine PFB severity and treatment efficacy on psychological outcomes.
