Reflectance confocal microscopy terminology glossary for nonmelanocytic skin lesions: A systematic review.
Synthesis in Journal of the American Academy of Dermatology, 2019. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. It is linked to trial NCT07277920 (Evaluation of Reflectance Confocal Microscopy), which is not on this map. Cited by 18 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
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.

Abstract
backgroundThere is lack of uniformity in reflectance confocal microscopy (RCM) terminology for nonmelanocytic lesions (NMLs).
objectiveTo review published RCM terms for NMLs and identify likely synonymous terms.
methodsWe conducted a systematic review of original research articles published up to August 19, 2017, adhering to Preferred Reporting Items for Systemic Reviews and Meta-Analyses guidelines. Two investigators gathered all published RCM terms used to describe basal cell carcinoma (BCC), squamous cell carcinoma (SCC), and seborrheic keratosis/solar lentigo/lichen planus-like keratosis (SK/SL/LPLK). Synonymous terms were grouped on the basis of similarity in definition and histopathologic correlates.
resultsThe inclusion criteria was met by 31 studies. Average frequency of use per term was 1.6 (range 1-8). By grouping synonymous terms, the number of terms could be reduced from 58 to 18 for BCC, 58 to 36 for SCC, 23 to 12 for SK/SL/LPLK, and from 139 to 66 terms (52.5% reduction) in total. The frequency of term usage stratified by anatomic layer (suprabasal epidermis vs epidermal basal layer, dermoepidermal junction, and superficial dermis) was 27 (25.7%) versus 78 (74.2%) for BCC; 60 (64.5%) versus 33 (34.5%) for SCC, and 15 (45.4%) versus 18 (54.5%) for SK/SL/LPLK, respectively. LIMITATIONS: Articles that were not peer reviewed were excluded.
conclusionSystematic review of published RCM terms provides the basis for future NMLs terminology consensus.
