A Case Report of Pemphigus Vulgaris Initially Misdiagnosed as Tinea Capitis: Infectious Consequences of Diagnostic Delay in a Patient Treated With Rituximab.

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 vulgaris is a rare and potentially life-threatening autoimmune blistering disorder affecting the skin and mucous membranes. Prompt diagnosis and appropriate treatment are crucial in preventing severe complications. We report the case of a 53-year-old woman with severe pemphigus vulgaris who was misdiagnosed as having tinea capitis for approximately four months. During this time, she received multiple courses of systemic antifungals and antibiotics without clinical improvement, resulting in the progressive dissemination of lesions, including mucosal and ocular involvement. The correct diagnosis was ultimately established through skin biopsy, and immunosuppressive therapy with prednisone and rituximab was initiated. During immunosuppression, the patient developed severe infections due to
