Case Report: Diagnosis of Primary Cutaneous Amyloidosis Using Dermoscopy and Reflectance Confocal Microscopy.
Article in Frontiers in medicine, 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 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.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
The dermoscopy and reflectance confocal microscopy (RCM) can provide new insights for diagnosis disease as non-invasive and easy-to-use tool. We described the dermoscopy and RCM characteristics of two patients with primary cutaneous amyloidosis (PCA) respectively. The dermoscopy characteristics were as follows: brownish macules with brown or white centers surrounded by hyperpigmented blotches, and a whitish scar-like center encircled by irregular brownish hyperpigmented spots or patches. The RCM features were increased melanin deposition in the basal layer, highly refractive structures with various shapes in the enlarged papillary dermis, and the increased pleomorphic structure of the dermal papillary ring. This is the first report the dermoscopy and RCM characteristics of PCA. We hope the characteristic dermoscopy and RCM appearances would provide a basis for doctors to diagnose and intervene earlier.
