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
High-dose steroids in combination with other immunosuppressant substances, usually azathioprine, are the therapy of choice in pemphigus vulgaris. Complete remission can be difficult to achieve, with mucosal lesions often recalcitrant. We describe two patients in whom gold in the form of sodium aurothiomalate was effective in resolving mucosal lesions. Initially both patients were treated with high-dose corticosteroids, one in combination with mycophenolate mofetil. Their oral lesions proved to be stubborn but responded well to intramuscular gold, which also showed a steroid-sparing effect, so that the dosage of corticosteroids could be reduced to a minimum. Sodium aurothiomalate was continued until both patients were in remission without any side effects.
