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

This review examines the work productivity in patients with autoimmune blistering diseases (AIBDs). Work productivity and employment are important aspects of a patient's life, which can be affected by diseases. The Work Productivity and Activity Impairment Questionnaire (WPAIQ) is a validated instrument that can measure work productivity and assess the impact of disease on patients' work lives. There is currently a paucity of research that investigates the reason why AIBDs cause such a large impact on work productivity and whether AIBDs affect employment status. Using quality of life (QoL) instruments in conjunction with the creation of an adapted WPAIQ to examine the reasons behind work impairment may further characterize these effects and unveil a deeper understanding of stigmatization in the workplace as a factor of loss of work productivity.
