Pemphigus relapse: Mechanisms, risk factors, and agents associated with disease recurrence.
Review in The Journal of dermatology, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 7 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 represents a spectrum of potentially life-threatening autoimmune-mediated skin blistering conditions caused by antibody production against desmoglein 1 and 3 (anti-DSG 1 and 3) in keratinocytes. Greater than 50% of pemphigus patients experience relapse, which complicates long-term medical management, including risks associated with re-treatment and complications such as infection and dehydration. This review aims to elucidate mechanisms, risk factors, and medications associated with pemphigus relapse. Mechanisms of relapse include the persistence of auto-reactive B-cell populations post-treatment and CD20- B-cell populations that reactivate after B-cell depletion therapy. Risk factors for relapse include high body surface area (BSA) of pemphigus involvement, high body mass index, high severity according to the Pemphigus Disease Area Index (PDAI) at onset, treatment delay, and high anti-DSG1 and DSG3 titers post-treatment. Targeted B-cell localization is associated with better clinical outcomes, including less frequent relapses. Rituximab is currently the gold standard of treatment for moderate-severe pemphigus and has relapse rates of 11%-44% in selected studies, with a mean time to relapse of 5.8 months to 36 months following treatment.
