Dermoscopy and Pathological Correlation in Different Grades of Actinic Keratosis and Squamous Cell Carcinoma.

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
Background: Squamous Cell Carcinoma (SCC) is a common skin malignancy arising from keratinocytes and can develop from Actinic Keratosis (AK). Establishing reliable criteria for early differentiation of AK grades and SCC is essential for timely intervention and regular examination. Purpose: This study investigates clinical and dermoscopic criteria for AK and SCC grades, exploring the pathological basis of features to aid clinicians in assessing disease status and guiding treatment. Patients and Methods: Clinical and dermoscopic images of AK and SCC patients were assessed by three independent researchers. Key dermoscopic features were identified and correlated with pathological findings. Results: A total of 106 AK cases (36 AK I, 24 AK II, 46 AK III; 33 PRO I, 40 PRO II, 33 PRO III) and 33 SCC cases were included. Clinical positive predictors for SCC included solitary lesions ( Conclusion: Dermoscopy offers a non-invasive and effective method for assessing lesion malignancy across various grades of AK and SCC, reflecting their pathological features and aiding clinical diagnosis while potentially reducing unnecessary biopsies.
