Defining the mimics and clinico-histological diagnosis criteria for mycosis fungoides to minimize misdiagnosis.

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
backgroundMycosis fungoides (MF) is a significant diagnostic challenge; it has various differential diagnosis especially at an early stage. Our aim was to describe mimics of MF clinically and histologically, and to define significant diagnostic criteria of the disease.
methodsThis was a retro-prospective cohort of 370 patients in whom the diagnosis of MF was suspected clinically.
resultsMF was histologically confirmed in 15.4% of cases and rejected in 84.5%. Other identified histologically diagnosis were eczema, psoriasis; nonspecific dermatitis, lichen, lupus; pseudolymphoma, parapsoriasis and toxidermia. 4 patients with palmoplantar MF were wrongly treated as eczema, and 10 patients with psoriasiform MF were initially treated as psoriasis. We also described the clinical, histological and immunohistochemistry diagnostic criteria for distinguishing MF from benign dermatosis.
conclusionsMisdiagnosis of MF was a real problem for this study, because it shared common clinical and histological characteristics with other inflammatory diseases like eczema and psoriasis. Therefore, defining significant clinico-histological diagnosis criteria of MF would be of great help and would increase the accuracy of the diagnosis.
