Assessment of anti-desmoglein antibodies levels and other laboratory indexes as objective comprehensive indicators of patients with pemphigus vulgaris of different severity: a single-center retrospective study.

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
The aim of this study is to assess the utility of anti-desmoglein (Dsg) antibodies levels, hematological biomarkers levels, the albumin to globulin (A/G) ratio, blood lipids levels, and lymphocyte subpopulation percentages as objective laboratory indicators of disease severity of pemphigus vulgaris (PV). A retrospective study of 187 PV patients with 256 medical records between January 2013 and December 2020. PV patients were divided into three groups by disease severity according to the pemphigus disease area index (PDAI) score: mild (0-8), moderate (9-24), and severe (≥ 25). The levels of anti-Dsg antibodies, hematological biomarkers, A/G ratio, blood lipids, and the percentage of lymphocyte subpopulations were measured. We assessed the correlations of quantitative variables by Pearson correlation (r). Multivariable linear regression was used to identify the variables associated with the disease severity of PV (PDAI score). The results show that the levels of Dsg1 (r = 0.294, P < 0.001) and Dsg3 (r = 0.206, P = 0.011), monocyte count (r = 0.210, P = 0.001), neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio (NLR) (r = 0.123, P = 0.049), and platelet-to-lymphocyte ratio (PLR) (r = 0.170, P = 0.006) were positively correlated with the PDAI score. However, the A/G ratio (r = - 0.399, P < 0.001), and the levels of total serum cholesterol (r = - 0.140, P = 0.026) and HDL (r = - 0.143, P = 0.023) were negatively correlated with the PDAI score. Multiple linear regression showed that the factors associated with the PDAI score were higher level of anti-Dsg1 antibody (P = 0.001), a higher NLR (P = 0.005), and a lower A/G ratio (P < 0.001). The linear regression equation was Y
