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 T-cell lymphomas (CTCLs) are non-Hodgkin lymphomas caused by malignant T cells which migrate to the skin and lead to rash-like lesions which can be difficult to distinguish from inflammatory skin conditions like atopic dermatitis (AD) and psoriasis (PSO). To characterize CTCL in comparison to these differential diagnoses, we carried out multi-antigen imaging on 69 skin tissue samples (21 CTCL, 23 AD, 25 PSO). The resulting protein abundance maps were then analyzed via scoring functions to quantify the heterogeneity of the individual cells' neighborhoods within spatial graphs inferred from the cells' positions in the tissue samples. Our analyses reveal characteristic patterns of skin tissue organization in CTCL as compared to AD and PSO, including a combination of increased local entropy and egophily in T-cell neighborhoods. These results could not only pave the way for high-precision diagnosis of CTCL, but may also facilitate further insights into cellular disease mechanisms.
