A Case Report on Juvenile Folliculotropic Mycosis Fungoides: A Misleading Disease.
Article in Cureus, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
Mycosis fungoides (MF) is the most common form of cutaneous T-cell lymphoma, usually affecting elderly patients. Folliculotropic mycosis fungoides (FMF) is a subtype of MF that affects the hair follicles. While it is the most common variant in adults, it is rarely described in the pediatric population. The clinical manifestations of FMF can mimic common childhood dermatoses, like atopic dermatitis (AD), which often leads to a delay in diagnosis. In the pediatric population, FMF is usually diagnosed at an early stage, and its course is often indolent. There are no guidelines for pediatric FMF; treatment is generally based on the approach used in adults and responds well to phototherapy combining narrow band ultraviolet B (NbUVB) and UVA. We report the case of an 11-year-old child who was treated for several years for atopic dermatitis with follicular involvement, revealing an FMF. This case highlights the value of clinicians' persistence in diagnosing and managing such a rare condition, as well as the essential role of the dermoscopic tool in identifying patterns that may improve the early diagnosis of MF.
