European Expert Consensus on Essential Variables for Teledermatological Assessment of Skin Tumours.
Article in Acta dermato-venereologica, 2026. 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
Teledermatology is increasingly used for the assessment of suspicious skin tumours, yet referral content remains poorly standardized. To develop a European expert consensus on the essential clinical and visual variables required for teledermatological assessment of primary skin tumours. A 3-round modified Delphi study was conducted among experienced dermatologists. In round 1, participants proposed essential variables. In round 2, variables were rated for essentiality, clinical relevance and feasibility. In round 3, binary voting was used to define final consensus. Consensus was predefined as ≥67% agreement. Interquatile ranges were calculated to assess response stability. A total of 47 variables were proposed in round 1. Following quantitative scoring, 34 variables progressed to round 3. Twelve variables met the predefined consensus threshold, primarily related to image quality and lesion characteristics. Sensitivity analyses using geographic subgroups and higher consensus thresholds demonstrated that image-quality variables were the most robust. This European expert consensus defines a focused and clinically practical core dataset for teledermatological assessment of skin tumours. These variables may support standardization of referrals and facilitate future validation and AI-assisted workflows.
