Skin cancer excisions and histopathology outcomes when following a contemporary population-based cohort longitudinally with 3D total-body photography.
Article in Skin health and disease, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 6 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
Background: Skin cancer represents a significant health burden across the globe and early detection is critical to improve health outcomes. Three-dimensional (3D) total-body photography is a new and emerging technology which can support clinicians when they monitor people's skin over time. Objectives: The aim of this study was to improve our understanding of the epidemiology and natural history of melanocytic naevi in adults, and their relationship with melanoma and other skin cancers. Methods: Mind Your Moles was a 3-year prospective, population-based cohort study which ran from December 2016 to February 2020. Participants visited the Princess Alexandra Hospital every 6 months for 3 years to undergo both a clinical skin examination and 3D total-body photography. Results: A total of 1213 skin screening imaging sessions were completed. Fifty-six percent of participants ( Conclusions: 3D total-body imaging results in diagnosis of a high number of keratinocyte cancers (KCs) and their precursors in the general population.
