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

Alopecia areata (AA) accounts for the autoimmune disorder mediated by T cells, whose prognostic outcome cannot be predicted and curative treatment is unavailable at present. The AA pathogenic mechanism remains largely unclear, even though follicular attack has been suggested to result from that attack of immune privilege-losing hair follicles driven by immunity. Recently, gut microbiota is suggested to have an important effect on immunoregulation under autoimmune situations like AA. Fecal microbial transplantation (FMT) may be used to treat AA. Nonetheless, related research remains at the initial stage. To promote the rapid progress of relevant research, the present work aimed to shed more lights on gut microbiota's effect on AA, early diagnostic biomarker and FMT therapeutics.
