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

Mycosis fungoides is the most common type of cutaneous T-cell lymphoma. The inflammatory micro-environment in mycosis fungoides is complex. There is accumulating evidence that the neoplastic T-cells take control of the microenvironment and thereby promote their own expansion by suppressing cellular immunity. B-cells have proved to be upregulated in large-cell transformed mycosis fungoides, and could potentially play a role in disease progression. To investigate the presence of B-cells in mycosis fungoides compared with controls, this study analysed 85 formalin-fixed and paraffin-embedded mycosis fungoides biopsies. MS4A1 gene expression was significantly upregulated in mycosis fungoides compared with controls (p < 0.0001) and further upregulated in disease progression, (p = 0.001). Digital quantification of PAX5+/CD20+ cells confirmed the increased presence of B-cells in mycosis fungoides compared with controls. No co-labelling of CD3/CD20 was observed in the neoplastic T-cells. This study found a significantly increased presence of B-cells in the tumour-associated microenvironment in mycosis fungoides. These findings could potentially lead to new treatment strategies for mycosis fungoides.
