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

Background: GPR30 is a membrane-associated receptor involved in rapid, non-genomic estrogen signaling. Estrogen significantly influences hair growth and susceptibility to hair loss, with differences primarily driven by hormonal factors. While estrogen's role in regulating hair follicle cycling is recognized, its precise molecular mechanisms remain unclear. This study investigates the role of GPR30 in hair follicle biology and evaluates its potential as a therapeutic target for estrogen-mediated hair loss disorders. Methods: The GPR30 selective agonist G-1 was administrated to female Results: We demonstrate that GPR30 is abundantly expressed in mouse skin, particularly during the anagen phase of the hair follicle cycle, implicating it in hair growth regulation. Activation of GPR30 using the selective agonist G-1 in mouse skin and human dermal papilla cells significantly upregulated Wnt/Hedgehog signaling, which are key pathways promoting hair growth. These effects were absent in Conclusion: Our findings underscore the importance of GPR30 in modulating hair growth and suggest that GPR30, along with its selective agonists, holds promise as a novel therapeutic target for treating hair loss disorders and other estrogen-responsive conditions.
