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

Folliculotropic mycosis fungoides (F-MF) is considered a unique variant of mycosis fungoides (MF), which is a form of cutaneous T-cell lymphomas (CTCLs). F-MF can appear in various forms, including patches, papules, plaques, nodules, and tumors. It often affects the face and extremities, with some cases involving the eyebrows. The distinction between F-MF and classical MF can be based on histopathology, which can demonstrate the involvement of hair follicles in the disease process. However, this differentiation can be complex. Immunohistochemical studies can sometimes assist in this distinction by showing differences in cell ratios. We describe a patient with hairless lesions and fine scaling, primarily located on the face, including eyebrow involvement, as well as on the extremities. Through a combination of clinical observations, dermoscopy, histopathology, and immunohistochemical analysis, a potential diagnosis of F-MF was considered. These diagnostic methods allowed us to accurately determine the disease subtype, aiding in both prognostic and therapeutic decisions.
