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

Objective: To analyze the application value of dermoscopy in the identification and staging evaluation of vitiligo in children. Methods: We have analyzed the differences in dermoscopy between vitiligo and other hypopigmentation disorders. Meanwhile, the dermatoscopic differences between active and stable vitiligo were also compared. At the same time, the results of diagnosing vitiligo were compared between a single dermascopic image (testing paper) and a combination of photographs, Wood's lamp examinations, and dermascopic images (training paper) by answering a questionnaire to eight dermatologists. Results: We have summarized the dermatoscopic features and clinical characteristics of 112 cases of active vitiligo, 111 cases of stable vitiligo, 99 cases of pityriasis alba, 94 cases of depigmented nevi, 16 cases of sclerosing atrophic moss, and 42 cases of post-inflammatory hypopigmentation in children. In this study, a statistically significant difference ( Conclusion: Dermatoscopy can serve as a standalone tool for diagnosing vitiligo in children and may also help in staging the condition.
