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: It has been shown that patients with hair loss may experience reduced confidence, increased self-consciousness, and low self-esteem. However, data concerning patients with lichen planopilaris (LPP) and frontal fibrosing alopecia (FFA) remain limited. Aim: The aim of the study was to assess the quality of life and psychological status of patients with LPP and FFA. Material and methods: In 83 patients with LPP and 79 patients with FFA, we assessed the health-related quality of life, disease perception, depression, anxiety and stress using dedicated questionnaires: DLQI, IPQ-B and DASS-21. Results: In 34% (28/83) of patients with LPP and 19% (15/79) of patients with FFA, the disease had at least a moderate effect on the patient's quality of life. In patients with LPP and FFA, positive correlations were observed between the DLQI and LPPAI ( Conclusions: Patients with LPP and FFA may experience a substantial impairment of the quality of life and stress, which, in their opinion, is a cause of their condition.
