Dermoscopy of folliculotropic mycosis fungoides of the scalp: a pediatric case report with comparative trichoscopic analysis.
Article in Dermatology reports, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 papers.
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
Folliculotropic mycosis fungoides (FMF) is an uncommon variant of mycosis fungoides (MF) that primarily affects hair follicles and is often misdiagnosed due to its similarity with other scalp conditions. The median age at diagnosis is 60 years, while it is rare in childhood and adolescence. This case presents a 10-year-old boy with alopecic, indurated plaques on the scalp, unresponsive to antifungal therapy. Dermoscopy revealed key features, including perifollicular hyperkeratosis, broken hairs, irregularly distributed white halos, and features resembling inflammatory alopecias. Histopathology confirmed the FMF diagnosis. This case highlights the helpfulness of dermoscopy in FMF differential diagnosis, even in a rare pediatric case. It underscores the need for further studies to define dermoscopic aspects of FMF, ensuring more timely and effective treatment.
