Clinical Outcomes of COVID-19 in Mycosis Fungoides and Sezary Syndrome.
Article in Acta haematologica, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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.
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
introductionHaemato-oncologic patients are more susceptible to severe infections with SARS-CoV-2. We aimed to assess the clinical outcomes of SARS-CoV-2 infection among patients with Mycosis Fungoides and Sezary Syndrome (MF/SS).
methodsThe data were retrieved from anonymized electronic medical records of Maccabi Healthcare Services (MHS), the second-largest healthcare organization in Israel. Patients diagnosed with MF/SS were included in the study. COVID-19 PCR test results together with sociodemographic and clinical data were extracted and analyzed to evaluate the association of COVID-19 with clinical outcomes.
resultsIn the period of 2020-2022, 1,472 MF/SS patients were included in the study. Among them, 768 (52%) had SARS-CoV-2 infection. The hospitalization rate was 2.9% and infection by the Delta variant was associated with the highest hospitalization rate (7.7%). The hospitalization rate was lower among fully vaccinated patients (p = 0.032) but higher for patients older than 65 (p < 0.001) and patients with SS (vs. MF) (p < 0.001) or COPD (p = 0.024) diagnosis. There was a tendency for decreased hospitalization among patients treated with nirmatrelvir + ritonavir within 5 days of infection, with a 79% risk reduction, although it was not statistically significant (p = 0.164).
conclusionPatients with MF/SS do not necessarily have worse COVID-19 outcomes compared to the general population.
