Moreover, additional research is needed to determine the effects of doxycycline prophylaxis on tetracycline resistance in STI-causing bacteria.

Reflectance confocal microscopy (RCM) is a non-invasive imaging modality that enables in vivo visualization of the skin at the cellular level, allowing for adequate estimation of LM/LMM margins. We aimed to perform a systematic review and meta-analysis evaluating RCM's performance compared with histopathology in margin mapping of LM/LMM. We searched MEDLINE, Embase, Cochrane, and Clinicaltrials.gov for studies published until July 2023, assessing RCM diagnostic accuracy for presurgical LM/LMM margin delineation. Negative predictive value (NPV; number of true negatives confirmed by histopathology out of all negatives found on RCM) was our primary outcome. Secondary outcomes were proportion of agreement between RCM and histopathology, mean number of stages to clear lesion, sensitivity, and specificity. Of the 955 search results, nine studies (329 participants) were included. Pooled NPV for RCM detection of LM/LMM clear margins was 89.15% (95% CI 80.95-95.46; I<sup>2</sup> = 80%).
