Nailfold capillaroscopic findings in alopecia areata patients: pilot results.
Article in Postepy dermatologii i alergologii, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
Introduction: Despite the unclear pathogenesis of alopecia areata, microvascular disorders in alopecia areata whose pathogenesis has not been clearly established yet are also thought to play a role. Aim: This study aims to evaluate microcirculatory changes in patients with alopecia areata using nailfold capillaroscopy. Material and methods: The study included a patient group of 47 individuals diagnosed with alopecia areata and a control group of 50 individuals without inflammatory diseases. Capillaroscopic evaluations were performed using a Dino-Lite Edge (P/N: AM7515MZT, Taiwan) digital capillaroscopy device, with both hands' second to fifth fingernail folds/nail folds of the 2nd-5th fingers on both hands examined at ×200 magnification. Results: The mean age was 32.4 ±10 years in the patient group and 33 ±8.8 years in the control group. The mean capillary density was significantly higher in the patient group (8.27 ±0.77 capillary/mm) compared to the control group (9.01 ±0.98 capillary/mm) ( Conclusions: The findings of our study suggest a possible association between alopecia areata and microcirculatory alterations.
