A Comprehensive Review on the Efficacy of Anti-CD20 Therapies in Pemphigus Treatment.
Review in Cureus, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 papers.
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
Pemphigus, an autoimmune blistering disorder, poses significant therapeutic challenges due to dysregulated B cells and the involvement of CD20. This review assesses the efficacy of anti-CD20 therapies, including rituximab, ofatumumab, ocrelizumab, and obinutuzumab, in pemphigus treatment. Mechanisms of action, clinical studies, and safety profiles were analyzed, revealing diverse impacts on disease severity. B cell depletion emerged as a pivotal factor, disrupting the autoimmune process and reducing pathogenic antibodies. Varied efficacy and safety profiles among agents underscore the need for personalized treatment strategies guided by biomarkers. Challenges such as resistance and long-term safety concerns necessitate continued research and vigilance. In clinical practice, insights from this review inform nuanced, tailored approaches for improved pemphigus management. The dynamic landscape of emerging therapies and personalized medicine emphasizes the need for ongoing research and strategic clinical decision-making. This review is a foundation for future investigations, providing insights for clinicians and researchers in optimizing pemphigus treatment.
