Reflectance Confocal Microscopy, Optical Coherence Tomography, and Multiphoton Microscopy in Inflammatory Skin Disease Diagnosis.
Review in Lasers in surgery and medicine, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. It is linked to trial NCT07098000 (The Role of Confocal Microscopy in Estimating Dupilumab Treatment Response for Moderate/Severe Atopic Dermatitis), which is not on this map. Cited by 17 papers.
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
BACKGROUND AND
objectivesTechnological advances in medicine have brought about many novel skin imaging devices. This review aims to evaluate the scientific evidence supporting the use of noninvasive optical imaging techniques to aid in the diagnosis and prognosis of inflammatory skin diseases. STUDY DESIGN/MATERIALS AND
methodsPubMed and Scopus were searched in September 2020 according to PRISMA guidelines for articles using reflectance confocal microscopy (RCM), optical coherence tomography (OCT), and multiphoton microscopy (MPM) in inflammatory skin diseases, excluding studies monitoring treatment efficacy.
resultsAt the time of the study, there were 66 articles that addressed the utilization of noninvasive imaging in interface, spongiotic, psoriasiform, vesiculobullous, and fibrosing/sclerosing inflammatory skin dermatoses: RCM was utilized in 46, OCT in 16, and MPM in 5 articles. RCM was most investigated in psoriasiform dermatoses, whereas OCT and MPM were both most investigated in spongiotic dermatoses, including atopic dermatitis and allergic contact dermatitis.
conclusionsThere is preliminary evidence to support the diagnostic potential of noninvasive optical imaging techniques in inflammatory skin diseases. Improvements in the devices and further correlation with histology will help broaden their utility. Additional studies are needed to determine the parameters for diagnostic features, disease differentiation, and staging of inflammatory skin conditions. Lasers Surg.
