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

Introduction: Mycosis fungoides (MF) represents the most prevalent form of cutaneous lymphoma, characterized by diverse histopathological patterns. However, recent comprehensive studies systematically evaluating the spectrum of histopathological patterns and changes associated with MF in patients within Iran are notably lacking. Method: This cross-sectional descriptive study analyzed 64 skin biopsy slides diagnosed with MF, archived from 2013 to 2023 at Al-Zahra Hospital and a private dermatopathology laboratory in Isfahan, Iran. Inclusion criteria included all slides with complete demographic data and a confirmed MF diagnosis. Patterns and finding of these slides were analyzed according to age, gender, and biopsy site. Data analysis was performed using SPSS Version 26.0, with significance set at Results: The study included 31 females and 33 males, with a mean age of 44.64 ± 14.91 years. The most common biopsy site was the trunk (45.31%). The predominant histopathologic patterns observed were psoriasiform (33 cases), lichenoid (14 cases), and spongiotic (10 cases), with universal epidermotropism across all slides. Parakeratosis and cytological atypia were found in 37 and 31 cases, respectively. Notably, eosinophils were more frequent in males ( Conclusion: This study reveals that psoriasiform, lichenoid, and spongiotic patterns are the most common in MF, with epidermotropism present in all cases. Age and gender significantly influence certain features, but overall, histopathological patterns showed no significant variation by biopsy location or age group.
