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

Based on the skin cancer screening model of Germany a critical statement is presented about skin cancer epidemiology, the total body examination and time intervals. The number of skin cancer cases will increase and the number of dermatologists will probably decrease; thus a fundamental and pragmatic strategy is required for further education and planning to comply with the increased dermato-oncological demand of an aging population. Hereby dermoscopy should be a basic diagnostic tool for the early recognition of skin cancer and precursors as well as to avoid unnecessary excisions of benign skin lesions. The excision ratio between malignant and benign skin tumours should be optimized.
