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
backgroundThere is an increasing need by general practitioners (GPs) for consultations regarding skin diseases or skin lesions. Teledermatological and teledermoscopic diagnoses are possible with good results.
objectivesThis descriptive study analyzed whether the increasing need for dermatological consultations could be improved by regional teledermatological and teledermoscopic triage between GPs and dermatologists. MATERIALS AND
methodsVia an internet platform, six GPs sent images of unclear skin diseases or skin lesions to a dermatology practice (2 dermatologists) over a period of 9 months. Possible triage answers were (1) stay at the GP, (2) urgent consultation at the dermatologist (days), or (3) later (week/months) consultation at the dermatologist, respectively, with the diagnosis and therapeutic suggestions. A feedback (grade 1-6) were given by the dermatologists about the image quality and from the GPs about the appraisal. The dermatologists' appraisals were done independently and were audited by a third dermatologist.
resultsThe patients' acceptance was 100% and a very good to good image quality was achieved in 94%; 66.3% of patients could stay at their GP and 20.7% of patients should come urgently to the dermatologist. The teletriage decisions of an urgent consultation at the dermatologist were confirmed in 41.5%. The GPs' feedback about the teletriage appraisal received an overall average grade of 1.1.
conclusionSuccessful regional teledermatological and teledermoscopic triage between GPs and dermatologists is possible. Specifications on data privacy laws must be followed and an appropriate remuneration is preferable.
