Understanding kidney involvement in mycosis fungoides: T-cell clonality as a guide for targeted therapy - a case report and literature review.
Review in BMC nephrology, 2025. 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
backgroundMycosis fungoides (MF) is a common T-cell lymphoma that primarily affects the skin. Renal involvement is rare and has never been reported as the initial extracutaneous site. T-cell clonality testing is essential for confirming systemic involvement. We report identical T-cell clonality in both the skin and renal involvement of MF, accompanied by a review of the literature on MF involvement in the kidneys. CASE PRESENTATION: A 58-year-old man with folliculotropic MF had asymptomatic bilateral kidney lesions incidentally detected on a routine magnet resonance imaging (MRI) 15 years after primary diagnosis. Immunohistochemistry (IHC) and polymerase chain reaction (PCR) confirmed clonal T-cell populations in skin and kidney biopsies, verifying systemic involvement. A Positron Emission Tomography (PET) scan showed a 50% reduction in kidney lesions after four months of therapy with Liposomal doxorubicin (20 mg/m
conclusionThis is the first documented confirmation of MF involvement to the kidneys through specific IHC and T-cell PCR-confirmed clonality testing. It highlights advances in therapy for localized disease and underscores the importance of confirming T-cell clonality, especially in atypical sites like the kidneys, illustrating its potential to enhance targeted therapy in disseminated MF.
