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

Bullous pemphigoid (BP) is the most frequent subepidermal autoimmune blistering disease and is caused by autoantibodies directed against two principal antigens of the hemidesmosome, BP antigen 180 and BP antigen 230. The pathogenesis of BP is dependent upon the interaction between genetic predisposition, physiological skin alterations due to aging and specific triggers. Several triggers have already been reported to induce this disease and include drugs, thermal or electrical burns, surgical procedures, trauma, UV radiation, radiotherapy, chemicals and infections. Data from the current literature support the hypothesis that alterations of the skin barrier associated with aging increase individual susceptibility to these aforementioned triggers. Consequently, this has been reported to lead to the attack of autoantibodies, demonstrating the predilection of BP for the elderly population. The identification of triggering factors and comorbidities may aid in understanding the pathogenesis of BP and improve clinical management by encouraging their prompt recognition and removal. Moreover, the present review has indicated that current management of BP should be aimed at counteracting the detrimental effects of aging on the skin by restoring skin barrier integrity and maintaining cutaneous homeostasis, for example with systematic applications of topical emollients and photoprotection. This strategy could prove even more beneficial in the elderly, in which frequent comorbidities associated with age often narrow available immunosuppressive treatment options. Furthermore, the safety of treatment regimens may significantly affect outcome and prognosis.
