Comparative Analysis of Reflectance Confocal Microscopy and Multiphoton Microscopy in Basal Cell Carcinoma Diagnosis.
Article in Journal of biophotonics, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 papers.
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
backgroundBasal cell carcinoma (BCC), the most common skin malignancy, requires early diagnosis for optimal outcomes. This study evaluates the complementary roles of reflectance confocal microscopy (RCM) and multiphoton microscopy (MPM) in BCC characterization.
methodsForty-seven histopathologically confirmed BCC lesions were analyzed. Preoperative dermoscopy and in vivo RCM imaging were performed; post-excision specimens underwent MPM imaging and H&E correlation.
resultsRCM demonstrated superior visualization of tumor nests and vascular patterns, while MPM provided quantitative collagen analysis, revealing significant architectural differences between high- and low-risk subtypes (p < 0.01).
conclusionThe combined approach enhances diagnostic accuracy, with RCM enabling rapid assessment and MPM facilitating risk stratification through collagen metrics.
