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

Pemphigus vulgaris (PV) is a rare autoimmune blistering disorder requiring immunosuppression therapy for optimal treatment. We report the case of a 68-year-old man with newly diagnosed PV who developed colonic ischemia while undergoing treatment with corticosteroids and intravenous immunoglobulin (IVIG). The "acute abdomen" that developed from this ischemia mandated abdominal exploration, resulting in ileocecectomy for effective management. To our knowledge, this is the first documented case of colonic ischemia temporally associated with IVIG therapy in a patient with pemphigus vulgaris. This case highlights the clinical relevance of recognizing the potential for gastrointestinal complications and emphasizing the importance of vigilance while treating PV patients with IVIG.
