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

Hair follicle cycling is regulated by complex signaling networks that coordinate stem cell activation and quiescence. Although transient receptor potential vanilloid 4 (TRPV4) is expressed in the skin and implicated in cutaneous physiology, its role in hair growth remains unclear. Here, we investigated the contribution of TRPV4 activation to hair growth and its relationship with thymic stromal lymphopoietin (TSLP). Pharmacological activation of TRPV4 using GSK1016790A significantly promoted hair regrowth and elongation in mice, whereas TRPV4 inhibition attenuated these effects. Consistently,
