The Significance of Eosinophil-to-Lymphocyte Ratio in Predicting Response to Omalizumab Treatment in Patients with Bullous Pemphigoid: A Case Series.
Article in Indian journal of dermatology. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
Omalizumab, a monoclonal anti-IgE antibody, has been used off-label in a few case series of bullous pemphigoids (BPs) with rapid efficacy and high safety profile. However, there is a lack of data to select patients who would get the most therapeutic benefit from omalizumab therapy. To assess if eosinophil-to-lymphocyte ratio (ELR), total serum IgE level, and serum eosinophil percentage would be useful in predicting response to omalizumab therapy in patients with BP. Medical records of 10 patients with BP treated with omalizumab were retrospectively analysed for clinical and laboratory data. ELRs, total serum IgE levels, and serum eosinophil percentages were compared between groups of complete responders and partial responders/flare-ups, but the results were not statistically significant. Studies with larger sample sizes should be done to predict the role of type 2 immunity markers in omalizumab therapy of BP patients.
