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 (MF) is the most common variant of primary skin T-cell lymphoma. It typically manifests as an indolent progressing cutaneous eruption with erythematous scaly patches or plaques. Due to the nonspecific pathological findings, it can be easily misdiagnosed as psoriasis. A 34-year-old woman with a history of psoriasiform plaques for 12 years was referred to our dermatology clinic. In the beginning, the diagnosis of psoriasis was made and topical steroids were prescribed: it did not exhibit any clinical improvement. During the visit, skin biopsy was performed and the diagnosis of MF was confirmed. Treatment with PUVA, prednisolon, methotrexate, topical ointment including ucerin, urea, and clobetasol were initiated. Significant improvement in all lesions were observed after 1 month of the treatment, and within a year, the disease improved dramatically after PUVA therapy. In refractory cases of psoriasiform plaques that are progressive and/or ulcerative despite the optimal treatment, biopsy is required and a possible diagnosis of MF should be kept in mind.
