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

backgroundMogamulizumab is more effective in treating the blood component of mycosis fungoides (MF) and Sezary syndrome (SS), though some patients also experience significant skin improvement. The characteristics distinguishing those with a favorable skin response remain unclear.

objectivesThis study aimed to characterize MF/SS patients achieving skin response on mogamulizumab.

methodsA retrospective chart review at a single cancer center included adult MF/SS patients who received at least one mogamulizumab cycle with follow-up. Skin response (≥ 50% clearance) and blood response (≥ 50% decrease in neoplastic cells/µL) were assessed alongside demographics, disease staging, and prior therapies.

resultsAmong 56 patients (MF = 35; SS = 21), 43% achieved skin response, with a median time of 2.3 months (range 0.5-6.4). Blood response occurred in 90%, with a median time of 1.8 months (range 0.2-23). Skin-response was highest in patients with blood response (64%), blood disease (B2, 61%), and SS (57%) and was significantly associated with decreasing circulating Sezary cells (P < .001). Among patients without blood involvement (B0), 24% achieved skin response, primarily in erythrodermic cases (71% versus 11%, P = .01).

conclusionsMogamulizumab appears effective in inducing skin responses, particularly in advanced-stage and high blood-stage disease. Even in patients without blood compartment involvement, mogamulizumab therapy may still be beneficial, especially for patients with erythroderma. Skin responses are less common in early-stage MF. Patients with both advanced blood and skin disease may benefit from initiating mogamulizumab simultaneously with skin-directed therapy.
