Review in Acta dermato-venereologica, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. It is linked to trial NCT05699499 (Analysis of Impact of KeryFlex on Quality of Life for Retronychia or Lichen Planus Adult Patients), which is not on this map. Cited by 5 papers.

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.

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

Nail dermoscopy (onychoscopy) is a valuable diagnostic tool for evaluating diseases in the nail apparatus. It is non-invasive, allowing clinicians to prioritize particular nails for biopsy. Thus, it can improve diagnostic accuracy and expedite treatment. Evaluating inflammatory nail disorders using onychoscopy is a relatively new approach to clinical assessment and has the potential to augment clinical care. This review highlights key dermoscopic features of major inflammatory nail disorders, including trachyonychia, nail psoriasis, nail lichen planus, onychotillomania, nail lichen striatus and allergic contact dermatitis due to artificial nails. It also illustrates their management and differential diagnoses, including onychomycosis, onycholysis, nail dystrophy due to systemic amyloidosis and malignant nail tumours. Limitations of this review included the low amount of literature on this topic and non-standardized terminology used among research-ers. As onychoscopy is a relatively new technique, further studies and standardization of terminology are warranted to consolidate the role of dermoscopy in evaluating inflammatory nail disorders.
