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

Skin biopsies provide physicians with valuable information in the evaluation of many dermatologic diseases. It becomes increasingly important for physicians to be proficient at performing skin biopsies because of the prevalence of skin malignancies and other dermatologic diseases in general population. The most common techniques include the punch, shave, excisional, and incisional biopsies. Each procedure has advantages and disadvantages, depending on the dermatologic diseases. The choice of biopsy type depends on the suspected disease's pathology and lesion location. Performing time-saving and economically convenient techniques is more favorable for both physicians and patients. For this purpose, for the past 10 years, we used a technique that provides hemostasis and substitute suturing without using any suture material for patients who are suitable for punch and incisional biopsies. We aim to share this easy, cheap, and time-saving procedure.
