Reddish/bluish benign lesions evaluated by dermus SkinScanner.
Article in Journal of ultrasound, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 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
Angiomas and blue nevi are common benign skin lesions with overlapping clinical appearances that can mimic malignancy, such as melanoma. This study evaluates the role of dermoscopy-assisted high-frequency ultrasound (DA-HFUS) in characterizing these lesions. Five cases (2 angiomas, 3 blue nevi) were examined using the Dermus SkinScanner, a handheld 33 MHz device with integrated optical guidance. Dermoscopy revealed blue nevi as regular, slate blue or brown lesions, occasionally with white veils; angiomas appeared as blue-purple papules with homogeneous purple lacunes. On ultrasound, blue nevi were well-demarcated, hypoechoic lesions with occasional hyperechoic foci suggestive of fibrosis, while angiomas showed heterogeneous echotexture with mixed echogenicity reflecting vascular and fibrous components. Fibrotic blue nevi exhibited deep dermal extensions and hyperechogenic columns not visible on dermoscopy. These findings highlight the complementary role of DA-HFUS and dermoscopy in non-invasive diagnosis and structural assessment of benign pigmented lesions.
