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

Dermatoscopy as a noninvasive diagnostic tool is not only useful in the differentiation of malignant and benign skin tumors, but is also effective in the diagnosis of inflammatory, infiltrative and infectious dermatoses. As a result, the need for diagnostic punch biopsies in dermatoses could be reduced. Hereby the selection of affected skin areas is essential. The diagnostic accuracy is independent of the skin type. Helpful dermatoscopic features include vessels morphology and distribution, scales colors and distribution, follicular findings, further structures such as colors and morphology as well as specific clues. The dermatoscopic diagnosis is made based on the descriptive approach in clinical routine, teaching and research. In all clinical and dermatoscopic diagnoses that remain unclear, a punch biopsy with histopathology should be performed. The dermatoscope should be cleaned after every examination according to the guidelines.
