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

Dyshidrosiform bullous pemphigoid (DBP) is a rare variant of bullous pemphigoid (BP) that mainly affects elderly patients and presents with tense bullae formation on the palms, soles, or both palms and soles. This case report describes an 87-year-old woman who was evaluated in the hospital for a month-long erythematous and pruritic rash on most of her body that eventually manifested into tense blisters on the palms. DBP can pose a challenge to clinicians as it can resemble a variety of different vesicular diseases. Therefore, clinical suspicion, as well as confirmatory testing with direct immunofluorescence (DIF), can aid clinicians in making a diagnosis of DBP. The mainstay of treatment is oral corticosteroids plus an immunosuppressant, but some monoclonal antibodies have shown promising efficacy in the treatment of more refractory cases of DBP. Additional research that focuses on the role of these monoclonal antibodies in the treatment of DBP is needed to determine their therapeutic benefit.
