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

High-quality clinical photography has become an integral part of dermatology in the context of patient evaluation and monitoring, clinical teaching, and research. Technological advancements in smartphones have allowed dermatologists to incorporate photography in workflows; however, acquiring quality photos poses its own challenges. Outlining a best practice approach to image capture prior to biopsy will facilitate establishing a team-based approach for the implementation of clinical photography in workflow. We propose this guide with the intent of improving patient care though photography in the clinical setting and the goal of integrating high-quality photography into routine clinical practice.
