A Monocentric Retrospective Observational Study of Comorbidities in Patients Affected by Autoimmune Bullous Diseases.
Observational study in In vivo (Athens, Greece). The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 papers.
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
BACKGROUND/
aimAutoimmune bullous diseases (AIBDs) of the skin and mucosae include a heterogeneous group of chronic diseases, which could be associated with various comorbidities. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the comorbidity profiles of patients affected by AIBDs, who referred to the Dermatological Clinic of Padua from December 2015 to June 2018. PATIENTS AND
methodsA monocentric retrospective observational study was conducted on 157 patients with diagnosis of AIBDs. Patients' comorbidities were investigated during the periodic visits of follow-up and through the analysis of computerized medical records.
resultsAmong the 157 patients, 40 (25.5%) were diagnosed with PV, 15 (9.6%) with PF, and 102 (64.9%) with BP. Nine different comorbidities were observed, but only two of these were statistically significantly associated with BP: type 2 diabetes (p=0.0142) and neuropsychiatric disorders (p=0.015).
conclusionBP is statistically significantly associated with type 2 diabetes mellitus and neuropsychiatric diseases. The correlation with neuropsychiatric pathologies is interesting for the possible bidirectional role in their etiology. The association with type 2 diabetes mellitus could suggest more caution in the administration of systemic corticosteroids, especially in elderly patients.
