Gamification of dermatoscopy education using a smartphone mobile platform: A pilot study.
Article in JAAD international, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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: Dermatoscopy is a noninvasive method of examining skin lesions under high magnification, gradually replacing the need for invasive biopsies. Training is required to gain clinical competency. Gamification employs game-like elements to enhance education engagement and is an engaging means of delivering medical education. We sought to use gamification and a mobile-based platform to deliver dermatoscopy education to physicians. Methods: We developed SKIN@GoPRIME, an interactive smartphone platform. Thirty physician participants were randomly assigned to watch an online dermatoscopy lecture or to use SKIN@GoPRIME. Twenty-eight participants completed prelearning and postlearning quizzes and provided feedback on SKIN@GoPRIME. Results: Users of SKIN@GoPRIME demonstrated a significant 1.71-point mean score improvement ( Discussion and Conclusion: SKIN@GoPRIME, a novel learning tool via gamification effectively delivers dermatoscopy education, although it is not shown to be more effective than lectures. Larger studies are required to further validate the effectiveness of gamified learning techniques in dermatoscopy education. Future studies should involve the optimization of SKIN@GoPRIME to more effectively deliver dermatoscopy education.
