Use of non-invasive optical imaging techniques in dermatology.
Review in Journal der Deutschen Dermatologischen Gesellschaft = Journal of the German Society of Dermatology : JDDG, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 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
Noninvasive imaging of skin diseases is highly valued in both dermatological research and practice. Reflectance confocal microscopy (RCM) is primarily applied to assess melanocytic lesions because of its high resolution, whereas optical coherence tomography (OCT) is particularly used for non-melanocytic skin tumors owing to its greater penetration depth. Line-field confocal optical coherence tomography (LC-OCT) combines the techniques of reflectance confocal microscopy (RCM) and optical coherence tomography (OCT), enabling visualization of the skin down to the superficial dermis while simultaneously providing cellular resolution. The visualization of the skin changes can be done horizontally, vertically, in 3D mode or as a video in real time. The evaluation of the measurement can be supported by artificial intelligence if required. The field of application of LC-OCT includes both melanocytic and non-melanocytic lesions. In addition, preliminary studies show great potential in the diagnosis and therapy control of inflammatory and infectious skin diseases. Nevertheless, RCM and OCT still have their place in special cases such as tumors requiring a particularly high resolution or penetration depth > 500 µm.
