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

Paraneoplastic pemphigus (PNP) is a rare and potentially fatal autoimmune disease that primarily affects the mucocutaneous tissues. Here we present the clinical features of a patient with the lichenoid variant of PNP involving the oral mucosa only. The patient exhibited clinical manifestations resembling both lichen planus and pemphigus, yet these lesions remained unresponsive to corticosteroid therapy. A chest computed tomography (CT) scan revealed Castleman disease. Following surgical removal of the tumor, the patient's oral mucosa healed completely, with no recurrence observed in a 4-year follow-up period. These findings emphasize the importance of considering PNP as a potential diagnosis in patients with refractory oral erosions displaying lichen planus-like and pemphigus-like features, particularly when unresponsive to corticosteroid therapy. A thoracic-abdominal-pelvic CT scan is recommended to facilitate accurate diagnosis and appropriate treatment.
