Risk factors for pressure alopecia after pyeloplasty in children.
Article in Frontiers in pediatrics, 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
Objective: To explore the risk factors for pressure alopecia (PA) after pyeloplasty in children and propose preventive measures. Methods: A retrospective analysis was conducted on pediatric patients with hydronephrosis who underwent minimally invasive pyeloplasty (laparoscopic or robot-assisted laparoscopic) between October 2018 and October 2020. General demographics, head compression duration, intraoperative head positioning management and scalp protective measures were compared between patients with and without postoperative PA. Variables with significant differences in univariate analysis were included in multivariate Logistic regression. The receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve was used to assess the predictive value of head compression duration for PA. Results: A total of 288 children were enrolled, among whom 22 (7.64%) developed postoperative PA. Multivariate Logistic regression revealed that lack of intraoperative head repositioning (OR = 6.00, 95% CI: 1.91-23.96, Conclusion: Absence of regular intraoperative head repositioning and prolonged head compression duration are independent risk factors for PA after pediatric pyeloplasty. A head compression duration longer than 3.5 h markedly increases PA risk. Intraoperative position management should be strengthened and targeted protective measures should be implemented.
