Alopecia Mimicking Lichen Planopilaris in a Patient with Mycosis Fungoides.
Article in Skin appendage disorders, 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
Introduction: Mycosis fungoides (MF), the most common form of primary cutaneous T-cell lymphoma, can present with diverse clinical manifestations, including alopecia that mimics conditions such as alopecia areata (AA) and lichen planopilaris (LPP). The folliculotropic variant (FMF) poses diagnostic challenges due to overlapping clinical features, necessitating histopathological evaluation for accurate diagnosis. Case Report: A 58-year-old woman with a 21-year history of stage IB MF developed alopecic patches in the left temporoparietal region, accompanied by pruritus and trichodynia. Physical examination revealed scarring and non-scarring alopecic patches, while trichoscopy showed characteristic features of follicular involvement. Histological analysis confirmed a diagnosis of FMF, characterized by atypical lymphocytic infiltrate and follicular destruction. Treatment included maintenance of NB-UVB and isotretinoin, with the addition of monthly intralesional corticosteroid injections, resulting in symptomatic improvement. Discussion/Conclusion: This case highlights the diagnostic challenges posed by FMF mimicking AA and LPP. The overlap in clinical and trichoscopic findings underscores the necessity for histopathological evaluation to confirm FMF and differentiate it from other alopecic conditions. Early recognition and a multidisciplinary approach to treatment are crucial for improving outcomes in patients with this aggressive variant of MF.
