Lipid Profile Scores Predict Severity of Pemphigus: A Cross-Sectional Study.
Article in Indian journal of dermatology. 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
Background: There is little evidence about the relationship between lipid indices and the severity of pemphigus vulgaris (PV) disease. In this cross-sectional study, we try to find out the exact relationship between three dietary lipid indices (PUFA/SFA ratio and ω-6/ω-3 index) and the severity of PV disease. Methods: In this hospital-based cross-sectional study, a total of 138 pemphigus vulgaris cases were studied, of which 108 had PDAI ≤15, and 30 had PDAI>15. Dietary intakes were measured a valid 168-item FFQ. To calculate the lipid indices, the data received from diet were used. Results: After adjusting for potential confounders, people with the highest ω-6/ω-3 index had 32% lowest severity of PV disease compared to the people in the lowest category. However, this association was not significant in all models (OR: 0.68; 95% CI: 0.24-1.93, Conclusion: The evidence of our study shows that the relation between PUFA/SFA ratio and ω-6/ω-3 index is not significant. However, case-control studies are needed to confirm these findings.
