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

Patients with, survivors of, and women at increased risk of breast cancer may experience various hair loss disorders, including those related to cancer treatments (such as chemotherapy- or endocrine therapy-induced alopecia), alopecia areata, androgenetic alopecia, and cicatricial alopecias. In the USA, approximately 1 in 8 women (13.1%) will develop breast cancer during their lifetime, emphasizing the importance of understanding safe treatment options for this population. Management of scarring and nonscarring alopecias in patients with or those at high risk of breast cancer requires the selection of therapies that do not impact breast cancer risk, treatment, or outcomes. In this review, we examine the safety of common medications used in the treatment of alopecia areata, androgenetic alopecia, and cicatricial alopecias with regard to breast cancer. We provide evidence-based recommendations for the use of these treatments in patients with and women at elevated risk of breast cancer while highlighting areas where further research is needed.
