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 a rare acquired subepidermal bullous autoimmune dermatosis, associated with autoantibodies against collagen type VII, the most important component of dermal anchoring fibrils. Blister induction occurs after binding of autoantibodies to collagen type VII, leading to complement activation, recruitment of neutrophils and secretion of proteases. Clinically, the disease is mostly characterized by tense blisters on trauma-exposed body areas which heal with scarring (mechanobullous form of EBA). The second most frequent subtype of EBA is inflammatory EBA, a bullous pemphigoid-like disease associated with pruritus. Involvement of mucous membranes and/or lesions in the head and neck area additionally point to the diagnosis of EBA. The mechanobullous type of EBA and EBA with intensive mucous membrane lesions display a chronic course and are often extremely resistant to therapy. Topical and systemic glucocorticoids, dapsone, colchicine, classical immunosuppressants, anti-CD20 antibodies, immunoadsorption or intravenous immunoglobulins have been reported as treatments.
