Multimodal imaging risk factors predictive of small choroidal melanocytic lesion growth to melanoma: An educational study and pictorial guide.

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
backgroundRisk factors for small choroidal melanocytic lesion growth to melanoma have been redefined using multimodal imaging. We explored provider ability to recognize risk factors for small choroidal melanocytic lesion growth to melanoma before and after image-based education and with and without multimodal imaging.
methodsProviders were invited to participate in a survey assessing ability to identify risk factors for small choroidal melanocytic lesion growth to melanoma using either fundus imaging or multimodal imaging. Risk factors included thickness >2 mm on ultrasonography, subretinal fluid on optical coherence tomography, presence of orange pigment by autofluorescence, acoustic hollowness by ultrasonography, and diameter >5 mm by fundus imaging. Performance was assessed before and after reviewing an educational PowerPoint providing pictorial examples of risk factors. Comparison between groups was conducted using two-tailed Fisher's exact test.
resultsThirty and 26 providers completed the pre-education and post-education assessments, respectively. Post-education participants were more accurate within ±1 risk factor for lesions with zero risk factors (77% vs. 100%, p = 0.01) or two risk factors (79% vs. 91%, p = 0.03). Following education, participants presented with multimodal imaging more often correctly identified lesions with four (12% vs. 42%, p = 0.03) or five (4% vs. 39%, p = 0.004) risk factors, demonstrated lower mean level of concern for lesions with zero risk factors (2.0 vs. 1.4, p < 0.001), and expressed higher level of concern for lesions with 5 risk factors (2.4 vs. 3.6, p < 0.001).
conclusionUse of multimodal imaging may be more beneficial than education itself to improve accuracy of risk factor identification for small choroidal melanocytic lesions.
