Peptide Epitopes of NC16A BP180 in the Diagnostics of Bullous Pemphigoid.

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
Bullous pemphigoid is a severe autoimmune blistering skin disorder causing significant morbidity and mortality among the elderly. Improved diagnostic strategies rely on the identification of autoantigen epitopes recognized by pathogenic autoantibodies. Continuous (linear) peptide epitopes, unlike conformational epitopes in recombinant proteins, offer advantages such as chemical stability, reproducibility, and lower production costs, making them attractive for diagnostic assay development. To identify relevant linear epitopes, a microarray of overlapping peptides spanning the NC16A domain of BP180 and the C-terminus of BP230 autoantigens was screened with sera of 13 patients with bullous pemphigoid and 2 control sera. A 25-mer peptide of NC16A, termed Pep7-NC16A, was evaluated by ELISA in 2 independent patient cohorts (n = 35 and 26 bullous pemphigoid cases, n = 48 and 53 controls). Pep7-NC16A ELISA showed sensitivity of 71% and 62% and specificity of 92% and 98%, with area under the curve values of 0.92 and 0.754 (
