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

Rosacea is a chronic inflammatory skin disorder characterized by persistent facial erythema. Its clinical assessment relies on the Clinician's Erythema Assessment (CEA), a subjective scale prone to inter-observer variability. To address the need for diagnostic consistency, this study developed a multimodal artificial intelligence framework for objective CEA grading using standardized VISIA® imaging. We analyzed a retrospective cohort of 1,001 patients. To establish a robust reference standard, three expert dermatologists conducted a multi-step collective audit to reach a unanimous consensus for each case. The framework integrated handcrafted image-derived tabular features with deep learning representations. During training, spatial data augmentations and Focal Loss were implemented to address dataset imbalance and mitigate overfitting. Our results demonstrated that the multimodal fusion model achieved statistically significant improvements over the strong image-only baseline (McNemar's
