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

backgroundRiehl's melanosis is a psychologically devastating hyperpigmentary disorder that typically occurs on the face and neck. The study of Riehl's melanosis is limited due to its rarity, variable morphology, and lack of noninvasive diagnostic tools. Recent advances in skin imaging analysis and diagnostic systems improve diagnostic accuracy and enable the noninvasive, real-time evaluation of pigmentary disease. A comprehensive study of Riehl's melanosis clinical morphology with multimodality and in vivo skin imaging systems has yet to be reported.

objectivesTo investigate the clinical features and in vivo advanced skin imaging findings of Riehl's melanosis.

methodsWe retrospectively investigated the clinical characteristics, dermoscopic, and histopathological features of Riehl's melanosis. We further utilized multimodality skin imaging analysis systems, including a cellular resolution optical coherence tomography (OCT) and new skin diagnosis system, to investigate the features of Riehl's melanosis. In addition, we compared OCT findings with histopathological features and clinical assessment.

resultsWe evaluated 30 patients with Riehl's melanosis at a tertiary medical center from 2010 to 2022. The average age was 47.7 ± 12.3 (mean ± SD) years, predominantly female patients (female: LIMITATIONS: This is a single-center, cross-sectional study.

conclusionsWe highlight the features of Riehl's melanosis through a novel cellular resolution OCT and photographic skin diagnosis system. A multimodality skin diagnosis system can serve as a real-time, in vivo, noninvasive method for evaluating pigmentary disorders.
