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
Histopathological examination is a cornerstone in dermatological diagnosis, providing critical insights into the pathogenesis and classification of cutaneous disorders. This study aims to evaluate the concordance between clinical diagnoses and histopathological findings in skin lesion biopsies. This descriptive cross-sectional retrospective study analyzed 321 skin biopsies performed in a dermatology outpatient department. Demographic data, clinical presentations, biopsy site locations, and histopathological findings were systematically recorded. Biopsies were categorized into 12 groups based on histopathological diagnosis, and clinicopathological concordance was assessed. The study included 321 cases (174 men, 147 women) aged 3 to 90 years. Inflammatory dermatitis was the most common diagnosis (39.87%), followed by vesiculobullous diseases (10.90%) and benign keratinocytic/epidermal proliferation (10.59%). The head region was the most frequent biopsy site (20.87%), and plaque formation (30.52%) was the predominant clinical presentation. Overall, clinicopathological concordance was observed in 72.6% of cases. Notably, higher concordance rates were found in melanocytic lesions (100%) and vesiculobullous diseases (85.71%). Chi-square analysis revealed a highly significant association (
