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 cutaneous T-cell lymphoma. It presents a diagnostic challenge due to resemblance with many other dermatologic conditions. The disease typically follows a progression from patches to plaques to skin-based tumors with potential for visceral involvement. Diagnosis is made by clinical presentation and histology. When early diagnosis is made, there is an estimated 88% five-year survival. This report details a 60-year-old Black man diagnosed with stage IIIA mycosis fungoides with a severe degree of cutaneous involvement. This case is unique due to the aggressive large cell transformation and rapid progression to death within 18 months of diagnosis. We highlight the challenge of diagnosing, treating, and monitoring the therapeutic response of mycosis fungoides. Finally, this case calls for a multi-disciplinary approach to treatment and to include mycosis fungoides on the differential diagnosis for patients presenting with a variety of vague, recurrent cutaneous symptoms, especially with patchy dyspigmentation or plaques.
