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

Early detection of skin cancer is essential in order to obtain an improved prognosis. Clinicians need more objective and non-invasive examination methods to support their decision whether to biopsy or not tumoral lesions. These may include several imaging techniques such as dermoscopy, videodermoscopy, also known as sequential digital dermoscopy (SDD), computer-aided diagnosis (CAD), total body photography, imaging and high-frequency ultrasonography (HFUS), reflectance confocal microscopy, multiphoton tomography, electrical impedance spectroscopy, Raman spectroscopy, stepwise two-photon-laser spectroscopy and quantitative dynamic infrared. This review summarizes the current developments in the field of melanocytic lesions, such as naevi and basal cell carcinoma (BCC) imaging techniques. The aim was to collect and analyze data concerning types, indications, advantages and disadvantages of modern imaging techniques for
