Epidermolysis Bullosa Acquisita: A Case Report.
Article in The American journal of case reports, 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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.
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
BACKGROUND Epidermolysis bullosa acquisita is a rare, subepithelial bullous disorder, which is distinguished from other autoimmune blistering diseases by the production of antibodies against type VII collagen. CASE REPORT Here, we describe the case of a 79-year-old male resident of the Northern Mariana Islands who presented to the clinic with multiple blistering skin lesions. CONCLUSIONS The primary focus of treatment is to prevent disease progression and serious complications of scarring (including blindness and respiratory obstruction) by avoiding physical trauma and suppressing the immune systems with agents, including corticosteroids, colchicine, dapsone, methotrexate, and cyclophosphamide. Successful treatment of the condition should involve a multidisciplinary team of medical professionals with regular monthly follow-ups during periods of active disease.
