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

(1) Background: Pemphigus is a blistering autoimmune disease of the skin and/or mucous membranes, characterised by the presence of specific autoantibodies directed against structural proteins of the human skin. Recent reports indicate that new haematological parameters, termed Extended Inflammation Parameters (EIP), can be used to assess the activation of immune cells during active inflammation. These include parameters assessing both neutrophil activation (NEUT-RI, NEUT-GI) and the number of activated lymphocytes (RE-LYMP). The aim of this study was to investigate the relationship between changes in NEUT-RI, NEUT-GI and RE-LYMP and the disease activity in patients with pemphigus. (2) Results: The study involved 32 patients with diagnosed different types of pemphigus. Neutrophil activation parameters (NEUT-RI and NEUT-GI) and lymphocytes (RE-LYMP) were significantly higher in these patients compared to the parameters in healthy participants (respectively p = 0.0127, p = 0.0011 and p = 0.0033). The increased quantity of activated lymphocytes (RE-LYMP) also correlated significantly with the extent of skin and/or mucosal lesions in patients assessed by the PDAI scale (p < 0.02). (3) Conclusions: The NEUT-RI, NEUT-GI and RE-LYMP parameters proved to be appropriate markers of inflammation severity in pemphigus, also in relation to local lesions, which was not possible with the inflammation markers (CRP, ESR) used so far on a routine basis.
