Multifaceted adult T-cell leukemia/lymphoma in India: a case series.
Article in Indian journal of dermatology. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 papers.
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.
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
backgroundAdult T-cell leukemia/lymphoma (ATL) is caused by human T-cell lymphotropic virus type-1 (HTLV-1). India is considered as a nonendemic region for HTLV-1. Recent upsurge of cases have been noted in southern parts of India. AIMS AND
objectivesThe objective was to describe skin manifestations in various types of ATL. MATERIALS AND
methodsClinical examination, blood investigations, skin biopsies, lymph node biopsies, and immunohistochemistry were performed in five patients. Flow cytometry was performed in two cases.
resultsSerological testing was positive for HTLV-1 in all patients. All patients presented with skin lesions. Rare presentations of molluscum contagiosum like papules, purpuric macules and plaques, hypopigmented macules and verrucous papules were seen. Dermatophytic infections occurred in two patients. Mucosal lesion was seen in one patient. Histological features include dermal lymphoid infiltrate with or without epidermotropism. Presence of epidermotropism did not correlate with the severity of disease. All patients except one succumbed to illness within few months to 1 year period.
conclusionsATL manifest in myriad presentations and skin lesions are often the earliest manifestation. Cutaneous manifestations of ATL vary from subtle hypopigmented macules to florid nodular lesions, and HTLV-1 screening need to be carried out in all doubtful cases.
