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 type of cutaneous T-cell lymphoma (CTCL), representing the majority of all lymphomas arising in the skin. The disease treatment focuses on managing symptoms and preventing disease evolution. To date, there is no gold standard for MF-CTCL treatment. Chlormethine, a DNA alkylating agent, is a long-known treatment for CTCL. The new chlormethine 0.02% gel (CL-gel) formulation provides proven efficacy and ease of application, improving patient compliance and outcome. The current consensus paper and real-world experience with CL-gel in the treatment of early-stage MF-CTCL may help meet the unmet need for treatments in Canada. A modified Delphi process comprised a virtual meeting and an online follow-up. A panel of 9 board-certified dermatologists with expertise in cutaneous lymphoma and 1 radiation oncologist discussed the systematic literature review results, drew from clinical experience and the opinion of the panel to adopt and agree on five consensus statements. The panel shared real-world patient cases to illustrate the use of chlormethine gel in a variety of patients across Canada. Five real-world patient cases were provided to illustrate the panels' use of chlormethine gel.
