Chronic Cutaneous Lupus Erythematosus in a White Population: Dermoscopic Characteristics by Clinical Subtype, Lesion Location and Disease Duration.

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
introductionChronic cutaneous lupus erythematosus (CCLE) comprises three major clinical variants: discoid lupus erythematosus (DLE), chilblain lupus erythematosus (CHLE), and lupus erythematosus profundus, also referred to as lupus erythematosus panniculitis (LEP). The aim of the current study was to systematically describe the dermoscopic features of CCLE in Polish patients with Fitzpatrick skin phototypes I-III.
methodsThe videodermoscopic images from patients with various clinical variants of CCLE (DLE, CHLE and LEP) were reviewed. Predefined parameters for dermoscopic evaluation in general dermatology were used to describe the findings in lesions located beyond the scalp. In the analysis of trichoscopic findings in lesions located on the scalp, dermoscopic features of follicular openings, hair shafts, the perifollicular surface, the interfollicular surface and vessel morphology were considered. Based on personal experience, several additional dermoscopic and trichoscopic characteristics were included in the analysis.
resultsA total of 85 lesions from 26 patients (16 women and 10 men; mean age 40.8 ± 11.2 years) were assessed. DLE on glabrous skin showed polymorphous vessels (89.1%), pink-red background (70.9%), follicular plugs (67.3%) and white scaling (58.2%), while scalp DLE was characterized by polymorphous vessels (83.3%), yellow dots (66.7%), follicular plugs (55.6%) and a reduced number of follicles (55.6%). Labial DLE (n = 2) showed linear branched and linear curved vessels, white structureless areas, red structureless (hemorrhagic) areas and red dots/globules. White scaling (61.1% vs. 34.1%; p = 0.042), gray-brown dots/globules (44.4% vs. 12.2%; p = 0.015) and peripheral pigmentation (100.0% vs. 46.2%; p = 0.036) were significantly more common in long-lasting (> 1 year) DLE lesions. CHLE (n = 5) presented with polymorphous vessels, white scales, pink-red background, red structureless areas and red dots/globules. LEP showed polymorphous vessels, white-yellow scales, follicular plugs, white structureless areas and red hemorrhagic areas.
conclusionsDermoscopy might be useful in the preliminary diagnosis of DLE, and its role in the diagnosis of CHLE and LEP needs further elucidation.
