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

backgroundMycosis fungoides (MF) requires accurate clinical assessment for staging and management. Teledermatology aids remote evaluations, but there is limited data on the use of 3D total body photography (TBP) in assessing MF.

objectiveThis study evaluates the accuracy and reliability of assessing a patient with MF using 3D TBP compared to in-person review.

methodsThirteen MF patients were evaluated in-person using the modified Severity Weighted Assessment Tool (mSWAT) by two dermatologists, and then had 3D TBP taken. 8 weeks later, the dermatologists evaluated the virtual images. Three independent dermatologists reviewed the virtual images twice, 8 weeks apart. Intraclass correlation coefficients (ICC) assessed agreement between in-person and virtual assessments and test-retest reliability.

resultsThere was moderate agreement (ICC = 0.71) for intra-rater in-person and virtual assessments. Test-retest reliability of virtual assessment was good (ICC = 0.79). Evaluating inter-rater agreement between in-person and virtual assessments indicated good agreement (ICC = 0.80). LIMITATIONS: 3D TBP could not capture skin on the scalp, beneath clothing and on the soles of the feet, limiting complete assessment.

conclusionClinical assessment of mSWAT using 3D TBP is as reliable as in-person mSWAT, suggesting its potential in teledermatology. Further studies are needed to validate these findings in larger cohorts.
