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 cancer education targeted to patients' needs is a goal of practicing dermatologists. Data regarding dermatology patients' baseline knowledge regarding skin cancer could aid clinicians in tailoring education efforts. Objective: To help quantify existing patients' existing visual recognition of skin cancer and common benign lesions, with the goal of helping to provide more targeted and meaningful education to patients. Methods: Two hundred forty-four adult patients from the dermatology clinics at University of Oklahoma and Loyola University Chicago were surveyed using digital images and questions regarding personal and family history of skin cancer, sun protection practices and sun protection knowledge. Results: Of the 244 subjects, 43% percent had a positive personal history of skin cancer, 40% had a positive family history. Scores differed minimally by personal history of skin cancer ( Limitations: Lack of generalizability to the general public, age range of subjects. Conclusions: There are knowledge gaps within the dermatology patient population regarding common benign and malignant skin lesions.
