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

Ex vivo confocal laser scanning microscopy (EVCM) is an innovative diagnostic method that allows tissue samples to be visualized digitally, quickly and in high resolution immediately after removal. It provides dermatologists with an overview of possible pathological findings during the surgical procedure. At present, research in the field of EVCM mainly focuses on basal cell carcinomas, but other tumor entities such as squamous cell carcinomas or malignant melanomas are increasingly being investigated. In addition, preliminary studies show promising results in the additional use of artificial intelligence (AI) for the automated detection of skin tumors and assessment of surgical margins. In future, EVCM and AI could be used together to expedite clinical processes and thus enable patients to be treated in a time and resource efficient manner.
