Limited Access to Dermatology Specialty Care: Barriers and Teledermatology.
Article in Dermatology practical & conceptual, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 15 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
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
introductionAccess to dermatology specialty care is limited in the underserved population. Barrier identification and exploring the potential role of teledermatology are the first steps to address this problem.
objectivesIdentify the barriers to dermatologist care for the diagnosis and treatment of melanoma and non-melanoma skin cancers in the underserved population. Additionally explored was the potential role of teledermatology to provide dermatology care access in the underserved population.
methodsA quantitative descriptive study was conducted via an online survey instrument. The survey's barriers portion was adapted from the 1998 Ohio Family Health Survey (OFHS). The survey's teledermatology portion was adapted from the McFarland Teledermatology Provider and Imaging Technician Satisfaction Survey. The participants were practicing dermatologists and members of Georgia, Missouri, Oklahoma, and Wisconsin dermatology associations. Thirty-eight responded to demographic questions, of which twenty-two responded to the survey items.
resultsThe top three barriers ranked as the most concerning were "continually uninsured" (n = 8; 36.40%), "resides in a medically underserved county" (n = 5; 22.70%), and "family under federal poverty level" (n = 7; 33.30%). Teledermatology as a potential role for access to care was supported by convenient delivery of healthcare (n = 6; 72.70%), an addition to regular patient care (n = 20; 90.90%), and increase to patient care access (n = 18; 81.80%).
conclusionBarrier identification and teledermatology access to provide care to the underserved population is supported. Further teledermatology research is necessary to address the logistics regarding how to initiate and deliver teledermatology to the underserved.
