Dermoscopic Features of Acral Palmoplantar Nevi: Age and Site Correlation in a North African Cohort.
Article in Dermatology practical & conceptual, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
introductionPalmoplantar nevi (PPN) are common and sometimes difficult to diagnose because of their unusual clinical, dermoscopic, and histological features, often mistaken for acral lentiginous melanoma.
objectiveThis study aimed to investigate the different dermoscopic patterns of palmoplantar nevi and their correlation with age and location.
methodsThis was a retrospective-prospective cohort study of a sample of the Moroccan population collected over 2 years. The diagnosis was based mainly on clinical and dermoscopic evaluation, and a biopsy performed in a single patient.
resultsA total of 140 patients with 144 PPNs were included in this study. PPNs were more frequently located on the palms (64%) than on the soles (36%). The parallel furrow pattern (PFP) was the most frequent in 44% of patients, followed by the lattice pattern (17,4%), then the homogeneous pattern (16.7%), the fibrillar pattern (10,4%), the compound pattern (7%), the globular pattern (2 %), the dotted pattern (2 %), and finally, the atypical pattern (0.7%). We found a correlation between fibrillar and globular patterns with younger patients (P <0.05) lattice pattern with pressure-free regions such as the arch and palmar region. In contrast, the fibrillar pattern was associated with heels and PFP with digital location.
conclusionRecognition of these patterns is crucial for accurate diagnosis and to avoid unnecessary excisions.
