Dermatoscopic markers of disease activity in vitiligo.
Article in JAAD international, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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: Determining vitiligo activity is essential for prognosis and treatment planning. Objectives: To describe the dermoscopic findings and correlate them with the activity of the disease. Methods: A single-center, descriptive, analytical study included 233 patients (330 lesions). Lesions were categorized as progressing, repigmenting, stable, or recent. Dermoscopic analysis was performed using a DermLite 4 dermatoscope, with statistical testing through Pearson's chi-square. Results: Progressing lesions were associated with trichrome pattern, reverse network, nacreous white globules, starburst, comet-tail pattern, micro-Koebner phenomenon, residual peripilar pigmentation with leukotrichia, perilesional polka dots, perifollicular depigmentation, and reverse network ( Limitations: Most patients had prior treatment, potentially influencing dermoscopic patterns. Conclusion: This study, based on a large sample size, identifies specific dermoscopic markers for vitiligo activity and introduces novel findings like bicolored hairs. These insights can refine clinical assessment and serve as a foundation for future research.
