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

backgroundPrimary cutaneous lymphomas (PCLs) refer to cutaneous lymphomas that primarily develop in the skin with no evidence of extracutaneous disease at the time of diagnosis. The epidemiological and clinical data of PCLs in Thailand are lacking.

objectivesTo evaluate the frequency, demographic data, and clinical characteristics of different subtypes of PCLs in a tertiary care university hospital.

methodsIn total, 137 patients with PCLs diagnosed in our hospital in 2008-2017 were retrospectively reviewed.

resultsOf the 137 patients, 57 (41.6%) were male and 80 (58.4%) were female (M : F = 1 : 1.4). The median age at diagnosis was 40 years. Most patients (134, 97.8%) had cutaneous T-cell lymphomas (CTCLs). Three patients (2.2%) had cutaneous B-cell lymphomas (CBCLs). The most common subtype was mycosis fungoides (MF) (67.9%), followed by subcutaneous panniculitis-like T-cell lymphoma (SPTCL) (21.2%), primary cutaneous anaplastic large cell lymphoma (pcALCL) (3.6%), lymphomatoid papulosis (LyP) (1.5%), primary cutaneous gamma/delta T-cell lymphoma (pcGDTCL) (1.5%), Sézary syndrome (SS) (0.7%), extranodal NK/T-cell lymphoma, nasal type (ENKTCL-NT) (0.7%), primary cutaneous peripheral T-cell lymphoma, not otherwise specified (pcPTCL-NOS) (0.7%), primary cutaneous diffuse large B-cell lymphoma, leg type (pcDLBCL-LT) (1.5%), and primary cutaneous follicle center lymphoma (pcFCL) (0.7%). Most patients with MF presented with early-stage disease (84.0%), with hypopigmented MF the most common variant (42.6%).

conclusionsCompared to earlier Caucasian and Asian studies, the present study revealed a higher proportion of CTCL patients with a younger age at onset and a female predominance. MF was the most common CTCL subtype, followed by SPTCL. More than 80% of MF patients were diagnosed at an early stage.
