Use of photographs illustrating ABCDE criteria in skin self-examination
Open accessAbstract
Dermatologists support public education campaigns using photographic references of nevi and melanoma, and they distribute brochures with these images to their patients in the belief that such images teach people to self-detect changing nevi and melanomas.1 Photographic images of melanomas optimize people's spontaneous image recognition.2 After the initial review, it is unclear how reference materials are used. We explored the use of educational material by people at risk to develop melanoma.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
