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

Paraneoplastic pemphigus (PNP) is a severe autoimmune blistering disease associated with an underlying malignancy, and its prognosis is poor. We herein report the first patient with B-cell chronic lymphocytic leukemia/small lymphocytic lymphoma (B-CLL/SLL)-associated PNP successfully treated with the Bruton's tyrosine kinase inhibitor ibrutinib and rituximab. Although his PNP lesions did not improve with ibrutinib monotherapy, the combination of ibrutinib and rituximab was effective against B-CLL/SLL-associated PNP. This case suggests that ibrutinib plus rituximab may be a potent therapeutic option for B-CLL/SLL-associated PNP that is hard to control with ibrutinib alone.
