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

Introduction: Mycosis fungoides (MF) is the most common form of cutaneous T cell lymphoma. Given that MF is a rare disease, evidence regarding its impact on sleep and quality of life is limited; however, our study aims to evaluate this aspect. Patients and Methods: In this case-control study, 72 patients with MF were enrolled in the case group, and 72 matched healthy individuals were enrolled in the control group. Data regarding sleep disturbances were collected and analyzed using the Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI) and Insomnia Severity Index (ISI) questionnaires. Poor sleep quality was defined as a score > 5. Results: The control and case groups had median scores of 5.12 ± 2.57 and 10.22 ± 3.75 by PSQI and 6.39 ± 4.86 and 16.28 ± 6.99 by ISI, respectively. Multiple logistic regression revealed a significant association between the study group and the prevalence of poor sleep quality, as measured by both the PSQI ( Discussions: Both the severity and prevalence of sleep disorders were significantly higher in the patients compared to a matched healthy population. Due to the profound impact of sleep on quality of life and considering the high prevalence of sleep disorders in patients with MF, evaluating a patient's sleep quality could improve their quality of life. Therefore, professional treatment can be administered if sleep disorders are observed or suspected.
