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

Paraneoplastic pemphigus (PNP) is a severe autoimmune syndrome commonly triggered by neoplasms. The prognosis of CLL-associated PNP is dismal due to its refractory course and secondary infection and no standard treatment was recommended. We retrospectively reported six CLL with PNP cases from 842 cases of CLL including diagnosis, treatment and prognosis. The median time between the initial of CLL to PNP was 36 months while the median overall survival from the diagnosis of PNP was 26 months. And three cases died of lung infection while 5 developed pulmonary symptoms. And 5 cases received fludarabine-based chemotherapy before developing PNP, which suggesting fludarabine was one of potential causes of PNP. For the treatment, five patients were rescued by combined regimens including rituximab, methylprednisolone, immunoglobulin, fresh frozen plasma and the last received ibrutinib combined with short-term prednisone. Fludarabine-based regimen may be one of the potential causes of PNP. The combined regimen might shed a new light, while ibrutinib is a promising drug for CLL with PNP, but needs much more evidence. PNP should be carefully treated to guide early diagnosis and intervention for a better prognosis.
