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

We piloted teledermatology to support detection of skin conditions, including Kaposi sarcoma (KS), at HIV clinics in Kenya and Uganda. Dermatologists remotely reviewed clinical information and images submitted by providers via a mobile platform. Of 273 consults, 18 were suspected of KS; 9 were biopsied, 7 were diagnosed as KS, and 4 received KS-specific treatment. Teledermatology supported identification of KS; however, biopsy follow-up was limited, highlighting the need for integrated service delivery with on-site diagnostics.
