CD25 expression could be a prognostic marker of bexarotene monotherapy for cutaneous T-cell lymphomas.

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
Bexarotene is often administered to phototherapy-resistant early cutaneous T-cell lymphoma (CTCL) patients as one of the first-line therapies in real-world practice. Since bexarotene reduces the expression of CCR4 in CTCL cells and CCL22 to decrease serum CCL22 levels, bexarotene inhibits the migration of CTCL cells, as well as other CCR4+ cells, such as cytotoxic T cells and regulatory T cells, in the lesional skin of CTCL. In this report, the efficacy of bexarotene in 28 cases of CTCL, as well as its correlations with immunohistochemical profiles of tumour-infiltrating leucocytes (TILs), was retrospectively investigated. The overall response rate at 1 and 4 months for the total cohort was 70.8% (95% CI, 50.6%-86.3%) and 47.8% (95% CI, 29.2%-67.0%), respectively. The disease control rate for the total cohort at 4 months was 65.2% (95% CI, 44.8%-81.3%). The mean event-free survival for all patients was 4.1 months (0.3-68.5 months). In addition, the immunoreactive cells were calculated using digital microscopy, suggesting that the ratio of CD25+ cells among TILs was significantly increased in patients who responded to bexarotene (
