Research interest in dermoscopy is increasing, but the complete dermoscopic image sets used in inter-observer studies of skin tumours are not often shared in research publications. The aim of this systematic review was to analyse what proportion of images depicting skin tumours are published in studies investigating inter-observer variations in the assessment of dermoscopic features and/or patterns. Embase, MEDLINE and Scopus databases were screened for eligible studies published from inception to 2 July 2020. For included studies the proportion of lesion images presented in the papers and/or supplements was extracted. A total of 61 studies (53 original studies and 8 shorter reports (i.e. research letters or concise reports)). published in the period 1997 to 2020 were included. These studies combined included 14,124 skin tumours, of which 373 (3%) images were published. This systematic review highlights that the vast majority of images included in dermoscopy research are not published. Data sharing should be a requirement for future studies, and must be enabled and standardized by the dermatology research community and editorial offices.
对皮肤镜检查的研究兴趣正在增加，但在皮肤肿瘤观察者间研究中，完整的皮肤镜图像集在研究出版物中并不经常被共享。本系统评价的目的是分析在评估皮肤镜特征和/或模式的观察者间差异的研究中，有多少比例的图像描绘了皮肤肿瘤。从成立到 2020 年 7 月 2 日，对 Embase、MEDLINE 和 Scopus 数据库进行了筛选，以查找符合条件的研究。对于纳入的研究，提取了论文和/或补充材料中呈现的病变图像比例。共纳入了 61 项研究（53 项原始研究和 8 项较短的报告，即研究信件或简明报告）。这些研究共纳入了 14124 个皮肤肿瘤，其中 373 个（3%）图像被发表。本系统评价强调，在皮肤镜研究中包含的绝大多数图像并未发表。数据共享应该是未来研究的要求，并且必须由皮肤病学研究界和编辑办公室启用和标准化。
