Lack of communication between dermatologists and histopathologists in real-life settings: a survey of the Italian Association of Hospital Dermatologists (ADOI).
Article in Dermatology reports, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
Skin cancer incidence is increasing worldwide. Clear communication between dermatologists and histopathologists, along with the possibility of sharing clinical images, is critically important. This survey aims to depict the level of communication between dermatologists and histopathologists in clinical practice in Italy. A group of histopathologists participating in monthly online meetings was recruited to participate in our survey. We collected information regarding dermatologists' habits in providing or not providing clinical and dermatoscopic images of melanocytic/keratinocytic lesions. A total of 63 histopathologists agreed to participate. Fewer than 15% of histopathologists receive routine clinical or dermatoscopic images from dermatologists after the surgical excision of a melanocytic lesion, while clinical and dermoscopic images of non-melanoma skin cancers (NMSC) are sent in fewer than 10% of cases. Our survey revealed that, in Italy, the communication between dermatologists and pathologists is far from being optimal.
