Case report: A novel high-dose intravenous immunoglobulin preparation for the treatment of severe pemphigus vulgaris failing standard therapy.

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 vulgaris (PV) is a severe autoimmune bullous dermatosis that is characterized by autoantibodies against epidermal adhesion proteins causing painful mucosal and skin blistering. Standard treatments for PV include corticosteroids, steroid-sparing immunosuppressants, or intravenous monoclonal anti-CD20-antibody therapy. The European guidelines suggest high-dose intravenous immunoglobulin (IVIg) therapy as a promising approach for severe or treatment-resistant cases. We report on a 65-year-old woman with severe and recurrent disease who achieved long-term disease stabilization with IVIg treatment. Because of recurrent fatigue and headache, the patient was switched to an alternative IVIg preparation with a novel manufacturing process, thus ensuring high purity and better tolerability. We observed excellent efficacy, yet side effects remained largely unchanged. Further studies are necessary to evaluate the long-term efficacy and tolerability of this new IVIg preparation.
