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

introductionPemphigus refers to a group of rare autoimmune vesiculobullous diseases with high morbidity and mortality, mainly affecting the skin and the mucosae.

aimTo evaluate the incidence of pemphigus in the Eastern region of Turkey by analysing the clinical characteristics of the patients including the drugs used in the treatment and their side-effect profiles and dosing schedules, duration of treatment, length of hospital stay, and the characteristics of the lesions. MATERIAL AND

methodsThe retrospective study included 130 pemphigus patients who were admitted to the in- and out-patient dermatology clinics at the University Medical School between January 2005 and October 2017. Age, gender, length of hospital stay, localization of the lesions, initial and maintenance dosages, treatment-related complications, comorbidities, family history, and smoking status were recorded for each patient.

resultsThe 130 patients included 62 (47.69%) men and 68 (52.31%) women, of which 73 (56.15%) patients had a smoking history. The annual incidence rate of pemphigus was 1.036/100,000 population and pemphigus vulgaris (PV) was the most common clinical subtype of pemphigus in our patients (

conclusionsThe results indicated that the incidence of pemphigus is remarkably high in the Eastern region of Turkey and the associated factors including lifestyle changes should be taken into mind when considering these patients.
