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

Mycosis fungoides, the most common primary cutaneous T-cell lymphoma, presents notable diagnostic challenges. In its early stages, it may resemble inflammatory dermatoses both clinically and histologically, causing delays in diagnosis. These factors can lead to treatment delays, allowing the disease to progress and adversely affecting the patient's quality of life. To address this issue, the use of skin imaging techniques like dermoscopy, reflectance confocal microscopy, optical coherence tomography, and high-frequency ultrasound has increased in recent years. These techniques assist in diagnosis and treatment monitoring, reducing unnecessary biopsies by guiding accurate sampling from the most relevant sites and improving staging accuracy. This review provides a thorough overview of non-invasive skin imaging methods employed in the diagnosis and management of mycosis fungoides.
