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

Cutaneous pseudolymphomas are benign reactive lymphoid proliferations that often mimic cutaneous lymphomas both clinically and histologically. A diverse array of inflammatory, infectious, and drug-induced dermatoses can closely resemble cutaneous T-cell lymphomas (CTCLs), particularly mycosis fungoides (MFs), posing significant diagnostic challenges. These mimickers may show histopathological features such as epidermotropism, dense lymphocytic infiltrates, or even clonality, making accurate differentiation crucial to avoid overtreatment. This review endeavors to comprehensively discuss the clinicopathologic features of the various inflammatory and infectious dermatoses that may simulate CTCL, drawing on illustrative examples across disease categories. By highlighting important comparative features and emphasizing the importance of clinicopathologic correlation, this review outlines practical strategies for distinguishing true lymphoma from its inflammatory mimics.
