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

Autoimmune bullous diseases (AIBDs) are acquired disorders characterized by autoantibodies targeting structural proteins of the skin and mucous membranes, resulting in blister formation. In pemphigus, pathogenic autoantibodies primarily directed against desmosomal adhesion proteins (desmoglein 1 and 3), disrupt epidermal cell-cell adhesion, leading to intraepidermal blister formation. In contrast, pemphigoid diseases are marked by subepidermal blistering due to autoantibodies against hemidesmosomal proteins, such as BP180 and BP230, located in the basement membrane zone. Diagnosis of AIBDs is based on clinical presentation, histolopathology, direct immunofluorescence, and serological analyses. Specific circulating autoantibodies can be identified using indirect immunofluorescence (IIF), which conventionally relies on animal-derived tissues, such as monkey esophagus, as substrates. This study aimed to develop a standardized
