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: Lentigo maligna (LM) and lentigo maligna melanoma (LMM) are rare in Asian countries. The histopathological diagnosis of LM is often challenging, and misdiagnosis is common. Although histopathologic features of LM/LMM are known, statistical analysis of them were scarcely reported. In this study, we aimed to investigate the histopathological characteristics of LM/LMM in Korean patients and identify key histopathological clues distinguishing LM from benign lentigo. Methods: We performed a retrospective study of the clinical and histopathological features of patients diagnosed with LM/LMM at our center between 2011 and 2022. We assessed the histopathological features in each case based on 16 pathological criteria according to previous literature. Pathologically confirmed cases of benign lentigo were analyzed for comparison. Results: Twenty-one patients (10 with LM and 11 with LMM) were analyzed. Several statistically significant difference existed between the features of LM and benign lentigo ( Conclusion: This study investigated the clinical and histopathologic characteristics of LM and LMM in Koreans. Although histopathological diagnosis is challenging, especially in the early stages of LM, our data showed essential histopathological changes in architectural, cytological, and dermal patterns. Considering the potential aggressiveness of LM/LMM, it is essential to recognize its histopathological features and provide timely management.
