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, or cutaneous T-cell lymphoma (CTCL), is a T-cell mediated chronic inflammatory skin disease, which can occasionally progress with a variable time course to a fatal lymphoma or to a leukaemic form called Sézary's syndrome. Extensive research into CTCL has not yet elucidated the primary pathophysiological mechanisms. Immunohistological studies are so far less helpful than expected in establishing early diagnosis and prognosis of the disease. The proposition that an exogenous virus is the cause of CTCL has not been substantiated. Karyotypic analysis of lymphocytes from the skin and blood of patients with CTCL have shown the existence of several genetically aberrant T-cell clones in the same patient. These changes are discussed as potential primary events for the development of CTCL. The hypothesis is put forward that the development of genotraumatic T lymphocytes is involved in the progression of the disease.
