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

backgroundSubcutaneous panniculitis-like T-cell lymphoma (SPTL) is a rare form of cutaneous lymphoma characterized by neoplastic T-cell infiltration of subcutaneous tissue, clinically mimicking panniculitis. This study aimed to evaluate the applicability and prognostic value of the T component of the Tumor-Node-Metastasis (TNM) classification system, as well as the prognostic significance of skin lesion characteristics in patients with SPTL.

methodsClinical characteristics and survival outcomes of patients with SPTL treated at a Korean academic medical center were retrospectively reviewed to assess the prognostic significance of TNM T staging and skin lesion features.

resultsAmong 43 patients with SPTL, nine had concurrent hemophagocytic lymphohistiocytosis (HLH). Higher T categories were associated with an increased likelihood of HLH. Although overall survival (OS) did not differ significantly across T categories, higher T stage and presence of lipoatrophy correlated with poorer relapse-free survival (RFS). Of all clinical variables, only HLH was significantly associated with reduced OS. Decreased RFS was associated with lipoatrophy, HLH, and visceral or nodal involvement. Multivariable analysis identified T3 stage and HLH as independent prognostic factors of RFS.

conclusionsPatients with SPTL presenting with extensive skin involvement (T3) have a higher risk of disease relapses and are more likely to develop HLH.
