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

Epidermolysis bullosa acquisita (EBA) is an acquired, autoimmune subepidermal blistering disease with an approximate prevalence of 0,2/million people. The hallmark of EBA is the presence of autoantibodies (mainly IgG class) to anchoring fibril collagen (type VII collagen) located at the dermal-epidermal junction. Clinically EBA is subdivided into the inflammatory and the non-inflammatory phenotypes, depending on the level of the cleavage in the basal membrane. A recent addition to the diagnostic techniques is the analysis of the serration pattern of the autoantibody deposits at the basal membrane in the direct immunofluorescence. EBA and the closely related bullous systemic lupus erythematosus are the only diseases presenting with the so-called u-serration pattern which distinguishes them from many other autoimmune subepidermal blistering diseases. We also discuss the recent advances in therapy, including the experience with Rituximab.
