Clinical and dermoscopic patterns of acquired melanocytic nevi in children and adolescents: a cross-sectional study from Turkey.
Article in Anais brasileiros de dermatologia. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 papers.
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
backgroundChildhood and adolescence are the most active periods for nevi development, which provide insights into nevogenesis.
objectivesTo evaluate the clinical and dermoscopic characteristics of acquired melanocytic nevi in Turkish children (aged ≤ 10-years) and adolescents (aged > 10-years) regarding demographic, constitutional, and environmental factors.
methodsA cross-sectional study on participants aged < 18-years examined for acquired melanocytic nevi between January and June 2023.
resultsOne hundred participants (female: male ratio = 1:1; median age: 10) were assessed. The median nevi number was significantly higher in adolescents than in children (6 vs. 4; p < 0.05). The upper extremities (n = 68) and trunk (n = 67) were the most commonly involved anatomical regions. Females had a significantly higher nevi rate on the upper extremities than males (80% vs. 56%; p < 0.05). The trunk was involved slightly more frequently in males (76% vs. 58%; p = 0.06). The globular pattern rate was higher in children than in adolescents (70.6% vs. 42.9%; p < 0.05), whereas a striking increase was observed in the reticular pattern from childhood (2%) to adolescence (14.3%) (p < 0.05). The globular pattern was the major dermoscopic pattern in all anatomical locations except lower extremities where the homogeneous pattern prevailed. Sunscreen use had no impact on the nevi number or dermoscopic pattern. STUDY LIMITATIONS: Limited number of participants.
conclusionsThe age and anatomical site were the most relevant factors influencing the number and dermoscopic patterns of nevi. The gender-related distribution pattern of nevi, without any effect of sunscreen use on either nevus count or dermoscopic pattern, suggests a genetic predisposition.
