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

Dermatosurgery plays a pivotal role in the management of cutaneous neoplasms, aiming not only at complete tumor removal but also at preserving functional and esthetic integrity. While conventional histopathology ensures high diagnostic accuracy, it is limited by processing time, artifacts, and restricted intraoperative availability. Novel imaging techniques such as confocal laser microscopy (CLM), optical coherence tomography (OCT), and line-field confocal OCT (LC-OCT) provide new opportunities for preoperative mapping, intraoperative margin assessment, and postoperative surveillance. Ex vivo confocal microscopy further allows rapid tissue analysis with minimal specimen loss. The synergistic use of multiple imaging modalities, together with artificial intelligence-assisted image interpretation, holds significant potential to refine dermatosurgical practice. These advances may contribute to more precise, patient-centered surgical care and reduce unnecessary re-operations.
