Nonshaven Follicular Unit Extraction with Pretrimming Method and a Large-Session Hair Transplantation: Experience of a Brazilian Surgical Team.

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
Background: Androgenetic alopecia is a prevalent condition, with advanced cases often requiring surgical intervention. The nonshaven follicular unit extraction (nonshaven FUE) technique, combined with a large-session hair transplantation, has emerged as a strategy to optimize aesthetic outcomes and reduce social stigma. Objectives: The aim of this study was to describe the technique of nonshaven FUE with large-session hair transplantation using the pretrimming method. Methods: A retrospective analysis of medical records was conducted on patients who underwent hair transplantation using nonshaven FUE with individualized pretrimming of donor hairs. All procedures were performed by the same surgical team between May 2015 and October 2023. Results: The retrospective analysis was conducted on 236 patients (91.95% male; mean age 44.17 ± 10.12 years). A large-session hair transplantation (>2500 grafts) was successfully performed in all patients, with efficient donor harvesting and implantation in both men and women. Conclusions: Nonshaven FUE with pretrimming method and a large-session hair transplantation represent a safe and effective approach for advanced androgenetic alopecia.
