Scalp microbiome in male androgenetic alopecia:
Article in Frontiers in cellular and infection microbiology, 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
Introduction: Persistent microinflammation in androgenetic alopecia (AGA) may contribute to hair follicle miniaturization, but whether scalp microbial dysbiosis serves as its trigger remains unclear. This study integrated clinical samples, an animal model, and Methods: Scalp microbial samples were collected from four regions (frontal, vertex, temporal, occipital) of 12 AGA patients and 12 healthy controls (96 samples in total) and analyzed by 16S rRNA gene sequencing. An AGA mouse model was established using testosterone propionate to evaluate histopathology and skin microbiota. The effects of Results: AGA patients exhibited elevated overall scalp microbial richness and diversity, with a marked decrease in Discussion: The dysregulation of
