1 · What the graph read from it

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.

2 · The registry

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

Although low-dose methotrexate (MTX) has been used widely in treatment of a variety of dermatological diseases, including multifocal primary cutaneous anaplastic large cell lymphoma (PCALCL), it has not been established for use in the treatment guidelines for solitary or localized PCALCL. Furthermore, there has been no report of long-term follow-up data in Asian patients with PCALCL treated with low-dose MTX. To investigate the effectiveness and clinical outcome of treatment with low-dose MTX, clinical and long-term follow-up data of 7 patients with solitary or localized PCALCL were analysed retrospectively. Of the 7 patients, 6 (85.7%) showed a complete response and 1 (14.3%) showed partial remission. During follow-up, mean duration of 92.1 months, 5 patients developed one or more cutaneous relapses. At the last follow-up, all of the patients with PCALCL were alive without disease. These results indicate that low-dose MTX is a highly effective and safe treatment for solitary or localized PCALCL as well as multiple relapsed lesions.
