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
The isolation of sweat glands from human skin has long been a challenging task. The human scalp contains thousands of eccrine glands, while the axilla harbors both eccrine and apocrine glands. Recently, the close anatomic relationship of the eccrine gland with the scalp hair follicle has been described. Taking advantage of this anatomic relationship, we describe here an efficient method to isolate sweat glands from the human scalp and the axilla using the micro-punch harvesting technique known as follicular unit excision (FUE), commonly employed in hair transplant surgery.Once the follicular unit (FU) has been extracted, it needs to be stained with Methylene Blue or Neutral Red in order to make the sweat gland visible for its dissection under the stereomicroscope. The efficiency of this isolation method should encourage further research into human sweat glands and opens possibilities for new translational applications.
