A clinically interpretable model derived from skin conductance for assessing microangiopathy of the skin surface.
Article in NPJ digital medicine, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
The electrical properties of the skin can reflect changes in its structure and physiological state, and bioimpedance analysis has been widely used to distinguish specific components of the human body, such as water, fat, or muscle tissue, instead of the traditional examinations with bulky equipment gradually. For the assessment of microangiopathy, a low-cost, simple, effective, and clinically interpretable model was proposed that relies on individual skin conductance data, collected from 28 patients with lower extremity arterial occlusion. The model demonstrated a specificity of 67.4% and a sensitivity of 82.9% in classifying healthy-affected sides. The severity estimates were consistent with the patient's laser speckle and ankle-brachial index, with intra-class correlation coefficients of 0.43 and 0.55. Further, patient record data was combined to improve accuracy by about 15% in multimodal ensemble learning, indicating the potential for using the electrical properties of the skin to characterize surface microcirculation disorders.
