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

Primary Cutaneous Gamma-Delta (γδ) T-Cell Lymphoma (PCGDTCL) is a rare primary cutaneous lymphoma of aggressive nature. Only a few cases with an initially indolent course over years have been published. PCGDTCL can mimic diseases with benign behavior in their clinical and histopathological presentation, such as lupus erythematosus profundus, but also other lymphomas, for example subcutaneous panniculitis-like T-cell lymphoma. In our patient, the results of histopathological, immunofluorescence microscopy, and clinical examinations of early lesions first led to the diagnosis of lupus erythematosus profundus. Two years after this diagnosis and 6 years after the first clinical symptoms appeared, the disease progressed with erosive and ulcerating plaques and a PCGDTCL with hemophagocytic syndrome with an aggressive course was diagnosed. A distinct correlation of clinical, histopathological, immunohistochemical, and molecular-pathological examinations is needed to differentiate between the potentially malignant and benign diseases. Re-biopsies of different skin lesions in uncertain cases are strongly indicated. This case demonstrates that an indolent clinical phenotype can precede an aggressive clinical course in PCGDTCL.
