Cutaneous Manifestations and Their Corresponding Dermoscopic Features in Patients with Dermatomyositis.

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
Introduction: Dermoscopy is a noninvasive and easy to apply technique that allows in vivo magnification of the skin and thus observation of morphologic structures invisible to the naked eye. Recently, it gained popularity for evaluation of inflammatory skin conditions. In the field of connective tissue diseases, dermoscopy has been used mainly as a simple and accessible substitute of nailfold capillaroscopy. Objectives: The aim of the present study is to expand the application of dermoscopy in patients with dermatomyositis (DM) beyond the usual nailfold examination. A clinico-dermoscopic correlation between clinical signs of skin affection and dermoscopic features is also suggested. Methods: A total of 29 patients with DM were enrolled in this descriptive prospective study, conducted over a 3-year period. Dermoscopy was performed by a DermLite DL1 dermatoscope on polarization mode, attached to One Plus 3T camera. The following skin lesions were examined: periungual affection, scalp DM, Gottron papules, palmar papules, poikiloderma and auricular changes. Results: Dermoscopy detected predominantly advanced nail fold capillary changes - giant capillaries (79%), microhemorrhages (46%) and avascular areas (25%). The most prevalent trichoscopic features were enlarged tortuous capillaries (64%), interfollicular scales (50%) and peripilar casts and tufting (36%). Among the other skin lesions assessed in this study - Gottron papules were present in 20 patients, poikiloderma in 11, palmar papules in 4 and auricular lesions in 4 patients. Conclusions: The use of dermoscopy for clinical evaluation of skin lesions in DM enhances diagnostic accuracy and elucidates poorly known characteristics of the disease.
