Bridging clinic to home: domestic devices in dermatological diagnostics and treatments.
Article in Frontiers in digital health, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 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
The integration of diagnostic and therapeutic tools into home-used devices has significantly transformed dermatology, making advanced skincare technologies more accessible to the public. Home-based diagnostic devices empower individuals to monitor, assess, and track skin conditions in real time, promoting earlier interventions and personalized skincare. Therapeutic devices, on the other hand, enable users to actively treat cosmetic and dermatological concerns, offering greater autonomy in managing skin health outside the clinical setting. These technologies, often inspired by clinical-grade equipment, promise enhanced patient engagement but also raise critical questions regarding safety, efficacy, and regulatory oversight. Importantly, the regulatory status of these devices, particularly for diagnostic tools, varies significantly across regions, affecting standards for quality, permitted energy outputs, and intended uses. This commentary separately explores the opportunities and challenges posed by home-used diagnostic and therapeutic devices, evaluates their roles in cosmetic dermatology, and highlights key insights from the literature to contextualize their growing influence on personalized skincare.
