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

Pemphigus vulgaris (PV) is an autoimmune blistering disorder of skin and mucous membranes, characterized by acantholysis, can be life threatening, and carries significant morbidity. Esophageal involvement is uncommon, and the diagnosis can often be delayed. Esophageal stricture secondary to PV is extremely rare, and there are no guidelines on the management of this complication. We present a case of recalcitrant esophageal stricture, secondary to PV, successfully treated with topical and intralesional steroids. Moreover, we review the literature pertaining to esophageal PV and the management of esophageal strictures.
