  • What are the main claims of the paper and how important are they?

    Comparing dermatological manifestations in diabetic cases with these manifestations in healthy non-diabetic subjects is the main aim of this study. The author has also introduced the dermatoses which are strong indicators for diagnosing diabetes mellitus.


  • Are these claims novel? If not, please specify papers that weaken the claims to the originality of this one.

    No, it is not novel as cited in the article.


  • Are the claims properly placed in the context of the previous literature?

    Some how.


  • Do the results support the claims? If not, what other evidence is required?

    Yes.


  • If a protocol is provided, for example for a randomized controlled trial, are there any important deviations from it? If so, have the authors explained adequately why the deviations occurred?

    As cited, other studies from this kind have revealed similar esultes.


  • Is the methodology valid? Does the paper offer enough details of its methodology that its experiments or its analyses could be reproduced?

    The methodology was valid, but the percentage of insulin therapy was not clear.


  • Would any other experiments or additional information improve the paper? How much better would the paper be if this extra work was done, and how difficult would such work be to do, or to provide?

    The association between skin type and dermatological manifestations in diabetic patients, the association between diabetes duration with each of skin manifestations, the association between skin angiopathy with renal and ophthalmic involvement…..


  • Is this paper outstanding in its discipline? (For example, would you like to see this work presented in a seminar at your hospital or university? Do you feel these results need to be incorporated in your next general lecture on the subject?) If yes, what makes it outstanding? If not, why not?

    Can be used in fulltexts.
