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

backgroundWe investigated mental health diagnoses (MHDs) in mycosis fungoides (MF) patients compared to the general population, evaluated risk factors, and studied survival outcomes in a large population database.

methodsMF patients from the Utah Cancer Registry diagnosed from 2001 to 2014 were matched with up to five general population individuals from the Utah Population Database. MHDs were retrospectively tracked in both populations (median follow-up = 6.67 years). Risk factors for new MHDs among MF patients were studied using the Cox proportional hazards model. Overall survival (OS) and disease-specific survival (DSS) were assessed using Kaplan-Meier analysis.

resultsThe incidence of anxiety disorders (HR = 1.99, 95% CI [1.16, 3.42]) and delirium/dementia disorders (HR = 2.43, 95% CI [1.05, 5.63]) was higher among MF patients than the matched general population. Among MF patients, Charlson Comorbidity Index (CCI) ≥ 2 and BMI < 18 kg/m

conclusionsMF patients developed anxiety and delirium/dementia disorders at rates above the general population, and MHDs correlated with worse DSS and OS. Careful mental health monitoring may be an actionable step towards improving health-related quality of life in this population.
