Dermoscopic Features of Acute, Subacute, Chronic and Intermittent Subtypes of Cutaneous Lupus Erythematosus in Caucasians.
Article in Journal of clinical medicine, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 11 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
Cutaneous lupus erythematosus (CLE) is divided into the following four clinical subtypes: acute CLE (ACLE), subacute (SCLE), chronic CLE (CCLE) and lupus erythematosus tumidus (LET). The aim of this study was to describe the dermoscopic patterns of CLE by clinical variant. A total of 54 Caucasian patients from Poland (ACLE = 10; SCLE = 11; CCLE = 26; LET = 7) were included. The predefined parameters for dermoscopic assessment in inflammatory dermatoses were analyzed separately by two dermatologists. Under dermoscopy, all the variants of CLE showed predominantly polymorphous vessels on a pink−red background within the lesional skin. Dotted vessels, in association with other vessel morphologies, were observed more frequently in SCLE than in the other subtypes of CLE, but the difference did not reach statistical significance (p = 0.07). The findings associated with hair follicles, including rosettes (p = 0.02), follicular plugs (p = 0.01), follicular red dots (p < 0.01), perifollicular white halos (p < 0.01) and dermoscopic features corresponding to scarring, including white (p = 0.01) and pink (p < 0.01) structureless areas, were significantly more common in CCLE than in other variants of CLE. A lack of scaling, pigmentation, erosions and crusting were observed in all the cases of LET. The role of dermoscopy as an auxiliary tool in the differential diagnosis of CLE needs further elucidation.
