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

Multiple autoimmune syndrome (MAS) is a rare condition, in which at least three well-defined autoimmune diseases co-occur in a single patient. Although the pathogenesis of MAS remains poorly understood, genetic, immunological, hormonal, and environmental factors may all play a role. Although three classic subtypes of MAS are well known, several cases that could not be placed into any of these three categories have recently been reported. To the best of our knowledge, the co-existence of psoriasis, vitiligo, and Crohn's disease has been reported in only one patient, who had a total of five autoimmune diseases (alopecia areata and oral lichen planus in addition to the three conditions mentioned). We herein describe a rare case of MAS presenting with psoriasis, vitiligo, and Crohn's disease, and suggest that tumor necrosis factor-α may be associated with the pathogenesis of all three conditions.
