Bullous Pemphigoid in X-linked Alport Syndrome.
Article in Internal medicine (Tokyo, Japan), 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
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
Skin lesions in X-linked Alport syndrome (XLAS) are rarely observed. Bullous pemphigoid (BP) is caused by autoantibodies against BP180, also called α1 (XVII) chain, in the basement membrane zone (BMZ). A 48-year-old man with XLAS developed tense blisters. A skin biopsy showed a cleft between the basal cell layer and dermis, with the infiltration of neutrophils and eosinophils. α1 (XVII) staining was positive on the epidermal side of α2/5 (IV) staining. Oral prednisolone improved his symptoms gradually. Abundant tense blisters on the palms and soles might suggest an important role of the α5 (IV) chain in the integrity of BMZ.
