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 is a pemphigoid disease characterized by autoantibodies against type VII collagen. This study compared the sensitivity and specificity of 6 diagnostic assays: type VII collagen non-collagenous domains enzyme-linked immunoassay (NC1/2 ELISA) (MBL, Nagoya, Japan); type VII collagen NC1 ELISA (Euroimmun, Lübeck, Germany); indirect immunofluorescence (IF) microscopy test based on the expression of recombinant NC1 in a human cell line (NC1 BIOCHIP®; Euroimmun); full-length recombinant type VII collagen ELISA; immunoblotting with full-length type VII collagen in the extract of human dermis; and immunoblotting with recombinant NC1. Immunoblotting with recombinant NC1 showed a sensitivity of 93.1% and specificity of 100%, follow-ed by NC1 BIOCHIP® (sensitivity, 89.1%; specificity, 100%), immunoblotting with human dermis (sensitivity, 87.1%; specificity 100%), NC1-ELISA (sensitivity 82.2%; specificity 98.6%), NC1/NC2 ELISA (sensitivity 88.1%; specificity 93.3%), and full-length type VII collagen ELISA (sensitivity 80.2%; specificity 93.8%).
