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

Dysplastic nevus is still a controversial entity both clinically and histologically. The occurrence of dysplastic nevus especially in the context of dysplastic nevus cell syndrome is associated with an increased risk for melanoma. The following minimal histological criteria should be fulfilled: nests of melanocytes varying in size and shape, bridging and confluent, proliferation of single melanocytes basal and suprabasal, cytoplasmic and nuclear atypia of melanocytes and subepidermal fibroplasia. The biological behavior (common nevus variant or precursor of melanoma?) is difficult to evaluate by presently available methods. The further development of new molecular biology techniques may allow a better prognosis of dysplastic nevi in an objective and reproducible manner. Against this background complete excision followed by clinical surveillance has to be recommended for the routine practice.
