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

introductionBasal cell carcinoma (BCC) is the most common non-melanoma skin cancer. The aim of the current study was to analyze the ultraviolet-enhanced fluorescence dermoscopy (UVFD) characteristics of BCCs.

methodsBCCs were evaluated under polarized dermoscopy (PD) and UVFD. The findings in PD were described using predefined parameters for dermoscopic evaluation in dermato-oncology. UVFD characteristics were determined based on personal observations, and included interrupted follicle pattern, absence of pink-orange or blue-green fluorescence, well-demarcated borders, and dark silhouettes.

resultsIn total, 163 BCCs were analyzed. Under UVFD, the interrupted follicle pattern (

conclusionsUVFD may be a valuable, complementary to PD, tool in the diagnosis of BCC, particularly in small tumors, lesions located on the face and nodular or non-pigmented subtypes.
