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

Background: Paraneoplastic pemphigus is a rare life-threatening blistering autoimmune mucocutaneous disease associated with various neoplasms. In contrast to the skin, mucosal lesions are refractory and requires considerable healing time, heals far more slowly. A multidisciplinary approach may provide a comprehensive management and a better prognosis. Case Summary: A sixty-one-year-old male patient presented to the ER department in June 2020 complaining of severe inflammation of the left eye along with scaly erythematous skin eruptions affecting the hands, trunk, and feet. Subungual hematoma was also observed. Clinical examination revealed extensive oral ulceration involving the dorsum and ventral surface of the tongue, buccal mucosa, labial mucosa, and hematic crusts were noticed on the lips. The patient was admitted for panophthalmitis secondary to a perforated corneal ulcer. Dermatological investigations were requested in addition to extensive baseline studies to rule out malignancies. The patient had a retroperitoneal lesion and underwent CT guided biopsy. Result was suggestive of low-grade B cell non-Hodgkin's lymphoma. He was treated by the haematology-oncology, dermatology and oral medicine teams. Conclusion: Paraneoplastic pemphigus (PP) is a fatal autoimmune blistering disease associated with underlying malignancy. A multidisciplinary approach to achieve early diagnosis and better management is essential to improve the quality of life of such patients despite their poor prognosis. Clinical Significance: Paraneoplastic pemphigus is a rare disease associated with mucocutaneous ulcerations and various malignancies, including lymphoproliferative neoplasms. As demonstrated in the current case, multidisciplinary assessment and management have proven to be effective in managing the patient. Physicians and dentists should make their best effort to work collaboratively to manage patients and minimize patient distress and improve life quality and prognosis.
