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

Of all cutaneous lymphomas, 25% are primary cutaneous B-cell lymphomas (PCBCLs). Of these, primary cutaneous follicle center lymphoma (PCFCL), primary cutaneous marginal zone B-cell lymphoma (PCMZL), and primary cutaneous diffuse large B-cell lymphoma, leg type (PCDLBCL-LT) are the most common subtypes. For the diagnosis of PCBCLs, a biopsy combined with immunohistochemistry and histological examination is the gold standard. PCBCLs are categorized into indolent or intermediate to aggressive subtypes based on their clinical behavior in a clinically oriented approach. PCDLBCL-LT has an aggressive course that spreads to extracutaneous sites in about 45% of cases, whereas PCFCL and PCMZL are indolent diseases. As a result, instrumental staging is advised for PCDLBCL-LT but not for extracutaneous disease after a diagnosis of PCMZL or PCFCL. Lastly, dermatoscopy may offer a novel diagnostic tool to improve the clinical recognition of various PCBCL subtypes when used in conjunction with a strong clinical suspicion.
