Bullous Pemphigoid Associated With Dipeptidyl Peptidase-4 Inhibitors: A Case Report and Review of Current Evidence.
Article in Hospital pharmacy, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
Dipeptidyl peptidase-4 inhibitors (DPP-4i), or gliptins, are a widely used glucose-lowering agents. A growing amount of evidence pointed to a possible role of DPP-4i in the induction of bullous pemphigoid (BP), which is an auto-immune skin blistering disease that mainly affects the elderly. In this article we discuss a case of DPP-4i associated BP and we provide an updated review of the current knowledge regarding this emerging entity. Use of DPP-4i, particularly vildagliptin, was found to significantly increase the risk of BP. BP180 would be in the center of the aberrant immune response. DPP-4i induced BP is thought to be associated with male gender, mucosal involvement, and milder inflammatory phenotype especially in Asian population. Generally, patients may not remit fully after DPP-4i withdrawal only and require either topical or systemic glucocorticoid courses.
