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

Introduction: The incidence of melanoma has increased in recent decades. Non-invasive imaging devices, such as Methods: We conducted a retrospective analysis of melanocytic lesions, including invasive melanoma, Results: A total of 5,925 male and female patients (3,062 male and 2,863 female individuals0) with 6,651 melanocytic lesions were enrolled in the study, including 2,381 melanomas, 863 melanomas Conclusion: Using confocal microscopy in routine care could lead to earlier detection of melanoma, including significantly more
