Risk factors and comorbidities associated with central centrifugal cicatricial alopecia.
Review in International journal of women's dermatology, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 5 papers.
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
Central centrifugal cicatricial alopecia (CCCA) is the most common form of scarring alopecia that most often affects Black women. The disease typically begins with hair loss in the center scalp, which progresses in a centripetal fashion. Both environmental insult and genetics have been implicated in CCCA etiology, although the exact pathophysiology remains unknown. Nevertheless, it is important that providers feel comfortable educating their patients on risk factors (RFs) for the development or worsening of CCCA, and potential comorbidities associated with the condition. Thus, the goal of this review was to summarize these factors. A comprehensive literature search was performed, and studies were included if they reported research on RFs for or comorbidities associated with, CCCA. A total of 15 studies were included:
