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

opinion statementThe development and implementation of artificial intelligence is beginning to impact the care of dermatology patients. Although the clinical application of AI in dermatology to date has largely focused on melanoma, the prevalence of non-melanoma skin cancers, including basal cell and squamous cell cancers, is a critical application for this technology. The need for a timely diagnosis and treatment of skin cancers makes finding more time efficient diagnostic methods a top priority, and AI may help improve dermatologists' performance and facilitate care in the absence of dermatology expertise. Beyond diagnosis, for more severe cases, AI may help in predicting therapeutic response and replacing or reinforcing input from multidisciplinary teams. AI may also help in designing novel therapeutics. Despite this potential, enthusiasm in AI must be tempered by realistic expectations regarding performance. AI can only perform as well as the information that is used to train it, and development and implementation of new guidelines to improve transparency around training and performance of algorithms is key for promoting confidence in new systems. Special emphasis should be placed on the role of dermatologists in curating high-quality datasets that reflect a range of skin tones, diagnoses, and clinical scenarios. For ultimate success, dermatologists must not be wary of AI as a potential replacement for their expertise, but as a new tool to complement their diagnostic acumen and extend patient care.
