Incidence and Mortality of Mycosis Fungoides and Sezary Syndrome: A Nationwide Registry Study in Finland.
Article in Acta dermato-venereologica, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
This study investigated the incidence, mortality, and causes of death in Finnish patients with mycosis fungoides (MF) or Sezary syndrome (SS). The study population consisted of 450 patients with MF and 23 with SS and their 1:1 matched controls. Data were collected from nationwide Finnish healthcare registries. The average incidence of MF was 0.38 and of SS 0.02 per 100,000 persons in 2007-2019 and was highest among older adults. Patients with SS had a low 5-year overall survival of 33.5% vs 64.5% in their controls (p = 0.0046), whereas 62.3% of patients with MF were alive 10 years after diagnosis vs 71.4% of their controls (p = 0.0011). SS diagnosis (hazard ratio [HR] 11.85 [5.08, 27.65]; p < 0.001) and higher age (HR 1.07 [1.01, 1.12]; p = 0.01) were risk factors of poorer disease-specific survival. Moreover, patients with MF had a 2.38-fold [1.07, 5.27] risk of thyroid diseases (p = 0.033) and over 1.5-fold [1.17, 2.07] risk of cardiovascular diseases (p = 0.002) compared with controls. In conclusion, in the Finnish population, patients with MF or SS had a higher incidence and mortality and more late comorbidities than controls. More awareness, earlier diagnostic tools, and more effective treat-ment for MF/SS are needed.
