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

Anti-p200 pemphigoid is a rare autoimmune subepidermal blistering disease with limited evidence guiding its management. We report a 49-year-old woman with refractory anti-p200 pemphigoid who failed treatment with high-dose prednisone and dapsone and developed significant corticosteroid-related toxicity, including hypertension, hypertrichosis, steroid-induced myopathy, and psychological distress. Given her history of complicated diverticulitis requiring bowel resection, dupilumab was initiated as a steroid-sparing therapeutic option. Pruritus improved within two weeks, near-complete remission was achieved after two months, and sustained disease control was maintained for six months, allowing substantial corticosteroid tapering without treatment-related adverse events.
