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

Pemphigus vulgaris is a rare autoimmune disorder, characterised by the development of blistering lesions in the skin and mucosal surfaces throughout the body. It is often misdiagnosed or missed completely in many patients, prolonging their suffering for many years, as it has the ability to mimic an array of other skin diseases. Many studies have concluded that there is a strong association between pemphigus vulgaris and psoriasis, though the exact mechanism is not clearly understood. We present the case of a 77-year-old gentleman on long-term treatment for psoriasis with ultraviolet B phototherapy, steroids, and many other topical treatments who eventually went on to develop pemphigus vulgaris.
