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
backgroundDermatopathology is an important component in diagnosing dermatological diseases. For more than 20 years, training courses have been offered in Münster to provide structured insight into dermatopathology. Since 2021 these courses have been offered in a digital format.
objectivesGoals were (i) to present the new digital course format, (ii) to systematically analyze the evaluation of the online courses by the participants and (iii) to discuss the general advantages and disadvantages of an increasingly digital training in dermatopathology. MATERIALS AND
methodsFrom 2021-2024, annual online courses were evaluated by participants using a standardized questionnaire. Questions were asked about specialist title, level of training, country of origin, technical implementation of the digital format, and course content. Responses were statistically analyzed.
resultsThe conversion of the courses to a digital format was rated very positively overall. Participants had no problems with the technical implementation. The participants would like to see more digital courses in dermatopathology in the future and even prefer digital courses to analogue ones.
conclusionThe future also belongs to complementary digital teaching formats in dermatopathology. Our example shows that these are already technically feasible and have been consistently positively evaluated by participants. However, purely online events also have disadvantages, particularly due to the lack of personal interaction. A combination of various face-to-face and digital formats seems to be the best way forward.
